 It's actually a yawn but it looks cool. Taken at Perth Zoo.

Converted from RAW, cropped, curves for contrast, selective colour layer, merged visible, resized, smart sharpen, saved for web.

I really like this one but I doubt it will score over 5.5, being a free study and all. I got it while shooting for Fauna III and while it didn't make the cut for that one I felt it still deserved a shot.

Post challenge
Well, that was a nice way of proving myself wrong! New personal best and top 10% too. My Fauna III shot ended up with a 6 too, but .2 behind this one.
