 This beautiful boy is new in the neighborhood and I don't know his name yet. His coral is only about 75 yards from my front door. I could hear him breighing and making all kinds of noise, so I thought it would be the perfect time to go take his picture for this challenge. He's young and spunky and quite full of himself. He was apparently upset that the rest of the family went for a ride and left him behind. I have high hopes you can see his spark in my photo.

As usual, I forgot to check my iso setting so it was at 800 with the sun still very high in the sky... nevertheless, I liked this pic almost right out of the camera. I cropped a bit, cloned out a distracting black gate lock, adjusted curves and sharpened, all the usual suspects. Resized then ran it through Neat Image (a must considering my faux pas) and saved for DPC.

Personally, I find the cropping very awkward.
