I set this shot up using a glass panel and standing it up right. I then opened a tin of salmon, (his favourite!) and poured the liquid down the glass.
Took several shots, some good close ups of his tongue, but decided on this one because of the humour value, and its so "Bandit".
Post editing:
Slight crop (His ear was already out of the frame).
Velvia vision
Sharpened a little
Saved for web.
Didn't use a noise reducing programme. Its the glass that gives the photo that effect.
Thanks for your votes!

7 - Oh boy. Cat looks familiar. Good 'capture'. Two main detractors here are the eyes (but they do 'add' to the oddness), and likely due to the odd 'refraction' and the ear chopped, otherwise, a unique shot and good take on the Challenge to show the texture of a cat's tongue. Nice complementary background colors.
Ohmygoodness. . . there's that adorable Bandit cat I've learned to love so much in these wonderful creative photos! This one soooooooooo makes me smile!!!! Congratulations. . on a day like I've had today, that says aLOT, and makes this certainly deserving of the 10 I'm voting on it :)
Very funny and great textural detail. I think I recognize this fellow from other photos. How do you get him to pose so well? My cats are usually very uncooporative. :D
very funny. how did you get the cat to lick the glass? liquid catnip? Theproblem i have with this shot is the weird flat top that the cat has. It looks a little to edited/weird. BUt very cool photo idea. Good luck.
