Nou Hans, die ziet er wel opgepoetst uit.
Moest ie naar een Blind Date? haha
I bet, when your lipps are that red, your teeth that white and your eyes that friendly, dates will come to you. (for asking for a photograph like this)
Prachtige kleuren. Ik heb vandaag al een paar rode foto's gezien, deze hoort zeker bij de top.
(ik had geen erg, dat het vandaag rood moest zijn)
Groeten en congrats with this beauty.

Good capture Hansie. I love his RED gums!
We have one of these at our zoo, and the children can climb in for photos - slightly different reason for yours being here in Thailand though :)

Good addition to the theme

Hoi Hans,

Oeh, hier spatten ook de kleuren vanaf!! Ik heb die hele vrijdag theme gemist. Jammers... Vroeg me trouwens af of er ooit nog iets gedaan wordt met die scav-hunts.
Maar mooi in de kleur deze!!

Groeten! Dennis

Wonderful color & well done. The dragon lower right adds much to the photo! :} Don

De hele make-up is ietwat aan de rode kant! ;-)
Mooi ook weer. De witbalans deed het goed, want die tanden zijn bijna zo wit als de mijne.
Good contribution to this red-friday-theme.
greetings,
Joop!

Great POV and wonderful striking colours - great photo.
Thanks for sharing
Mark

Hans,
