I know that it has been a while, but I do sincerely appreciate everyone's kind comments about this photo. I have never seen a lion curl his tongue like this before, so it was kinda cool to capture it at exactly the right moment. #2461230Chris Budny February 27, 2006
Congratulations (belatedly) Don, on this win---the curled tip of his tongue makes this picture stand out in a big way... timing is everything, no? #2475939Chastity Abbott June 23, 2006

Thank you Susan for digging out this older image and for your kind comments. #4478323Chris Budny September 23, 2007
I had to come back and comment again on this, having just seen it today, blown up to poster size, hanging in the Museum of Natural History's "Best of Nature Photography" display. Congratulations on the win in that magazine's contest, as well as the honor of your image hanging in the museum! #4832687Don Johnson September 24, 2007
Thank you Chris. I'm glad you got to see the exhibit at the Smithsonian. It really is a ego boost for me! #4836585Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
