weekly Cobra's 52 surreptitious Shoe-horns for 2016 week 52 celebrate and done

Cobra said:
I thought that it was sheepdog Sam and Ralph wolf,
but it seems its a 1969 cartoon 'It's the Wolf', in which Lambsy, the lamb comes under constant attack from Mildew Wolf.



No accounting for taste is there? :D

I,m that old too probably why I forgot what it was called
 
God I remember the "It's the wuluf, it's the wuluf" cartoon, that takes me back! Nice wolf shot and spot on for the theme. Had to laugh at the baboons, great colours and dare I say details?
 
Both excellent shots again Mr.C. The colour in the second is brilliant and therefore my fave. (Is it my imagination or is the latter an action shot ... seems to me that some air movement has taken it's effect on the male's fur and he's in the process of installing a draught excluder ... I could be wrong of course).
 
Hmmm Fauna tough call for a shoe horn
Let me think ...

Ah yes, Fauna (Cation) will have to suffice ..

Wow! Love the colour and delicacy of the furry chops and the sharp relief against the bg in #1 - top shot Mr.C. Can't understand #2, why have they stuck red marker pens in their navels, just looks unnat ... oh wait ...... um ... To think I just read a book when sunbathing.
 
Like the ape shot nice detail in the fur :clap: as for the other two characters I have no idea whats going on there o_O

I agree with Ruth above, off to the naughty step indeed, it was not allowed and you are a dirty boy also :mooning:

They are meditating, contemplating their navels as it were :thumbs:
 
First one is a cracker, great pose, nice details, second one ... well it's becoming a theme :eek:
 
Loving the first on Chris lovely detail and a great DoF and you got a catch light in the eye too.. It has an almost 3d feel to it for me.

Cheers Walter :)
 
Fauna 1 ... real good detail.

Fauna 2 ... too much detail.
 
Hidden - the Hippo is more hidden but the Lynx is the winner for me.
Lone - liking the lone wolf
Fauna - The 1st picture is great such good detail in the fur and he really stands out against
As for the other 2 shots nuff said allready
 
Perhaps we could have a poll which photo is the favourite.:thinking::giggle:, there is a smilie its says I love Cobra, I hardly know you:canon:

Love the 1st Mangabey shot. Nice composition and sharp focus.
Should there be a NSFW warning for the 2nd Meerkat shot?

Cheers Stan and I've added a NSFW tag :)

I can't remember why that was added, but it was one of the admins idea of a joke at the time :D
Don't worry about not knowing me, the more you get to know me, the more you will grow to love me :D
 
Faunacation, eh?

I like the pose in #1 better, but it's even less of a shoe horn... :exit:

There should be a warning but folk look just the same, I think I did, I'm not sure what I was looking for, I know what I was looking at.;) Did someone say the theme for the 2nd photo was nuts and bolts, I think I've lost my way. I did read nuts and bolts somewhere, but where.

Male lions spend 18 to 20 hours a day snoozing, while females get 15 to 18 hours of shuteye.
The lionesses spend more time hunting and taking care of cubs, which is why they get slightly less sleep. And following a large meal, lions may even sleep up to 24 hours.

Hows that for a Statistic? :D

In a rush this week so your'll have to do with a notsomuch a shoehorn :D
