There's a funny smell in Dingle Dell
and its not the little people washing their socks. Ok it's a what would you do scenario laying in wait for a target species and our friend turns up. Knowing he can squirt 12' with accuracy and I'm well in range. Make your mind up time? Once hit the stench lasts for three to four weeks. It's overpowering in the extreme.

Suggestions please?

Thanks

Barry :wink:

Canon 1D3 sigma 50mm-500mm HH plenty of camera shake and a few choice words.

Hi Barry
First thing is hide in a dustbin !! - or squirt him first.! :eek:
Interesting shot. Some crop off the right hand side about half way between the tail and the edge might improve the impact a little. Some detail in the black would be nice too without burning out the whites.Various programs do it.
Cheers

In this case I'm glad there is no such thing as 'virtual' smell. :wink: Johm is spot on with his suggestions (of course).
