20100131 - Nosey

MonoMonth

Very friendly and nosey - came and snuffled my hand but I didn't have anything for me to eat, let alone sheepy fud!

Well, that's it - a whirlwind month of monochrome; it's been great fun! Thanks for all the comments and encouragement etc :o))

"Name that Action Photo" doesn't do it for me though: when it's more about the comments than the photo, something's got to be wrong. So it's back to paddling in the anonymity pool for me... :o)

Canon EOS 5D ,Canon EF 135mm f/2L USM
1/2000s f/4.0 at 135.0mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Ewe rOcK. It has been quite a marathon. I have not even had time to check into the Feb theme. Doesn't really strike a chord with me. Maybe a need a personal theme to polish for the short month.
