The flies give this shot a 3-D effect. Love the tongue. Great capture.

Hey Ken,
I like this one a lot. In my eyes you absolutely nailed the DoF, with the result that the viewer's attention (or at least MY attention) goes exactly where it should. And, for me, the exposed tongue elevates the interest level in this shot a lot (without it this would still be a solid shot, but that tongue gives that little bit of extra interest that makes all the difference in the world). Very well done...
Cheers...
Brad

Ditto to comments from Brad...and to my eye the perfectly curled tail is the accent that adds life to the capture.
