Very nice sharpness/definition around the dew drops, Jim.

Love that shot. I am looking forward to being able to take shots like that. Is that a single photo or stacked. Very nice work.

Thanks Michael! This is single shot with my ol' Nikkor AF 105 from a tripod as low as it would go...no wind. It was in a bad spot as far as back ground but I tried to get at least a couple of shots...

The background is good, I think. It adds texture and interest in the droplets. Looks like he's all decked out for Mardi Gras.

Wow, amazing. He's not going anywhere for a while. Love the water drop inside his curled up tongue. Great find!

Thanks so much for the kind comments! Sometimes I get lucky and find a nice subject and can get a few shots. I haven't seen another one like this since then but always hunt for them when there is a lot of dew in the prairie.
