my grandson spotted this fellow on the pool ladder- I was shooting up so not an ideal perspective- I tried to get closer & he turned his head & seemed to be looking right at me, as if to say "that's close enough lady !"

i need to get rid of the line that paul pointed out-I wonder what it is too ???

Very cool! Love these guys. They are so menacing, makes me glad I'm bigger than they are.

brilliant shot pat .. they are incredible looking creatures and ones that seem to be easier to shoot than most coz they move slowly or not at all .. :)

Very, very nice image - but what's that line at the top? Did you clone something out?

These guys have such alien looking faces. Can't you see a planet with these guys crawling about? I can see this one with a big hat, making him the head honcho. LOL
