Elsa, would you happen to have one taken with a wide-angle lens? You know how much I like those :)

Nice one Elsa.

I was once leaning out of my car window as we drove through a safari park whilst a giraffe walked past. It saw my D50 and assumed it must be edible!
It took some nerve not to duck back inside the car as those big hairy lips swept down towards me!!

The image looks familiar, Colin.  You used it as your avatar, if I remember correctly?

Great shots all around.

Elsa, that second one of yours doesn't remind me of laughter but more of a deranged sneer. A little scary in that regard.
