Hide and Seek - Can YOU find it?

[Phyxius]

This cave is located in southern Virginia and this particular picture was taken in a "dead room". It considered "dead" because there is no water source in the room and so it is no longer "growing" or developing. Also, at this point in the cave you are 34 stories underground. :thumb

But, some critter besides myself was in that room of the cave. Can you find him?

Oh! There he is!! Lower right side about a third of the way up from the bottom.

(and this is my attempt at lightening him up a tad. Not too happy with the results, did bright/contrast, curves (selected black) and curves adjustment.)

Now, in another room of the cave, a living room (so nice and wet...dark REFLECTIVE surfaces :rolleyes) was this fellow...

As you can kinda see in this image he was very vocal and not at all happy with me shooting a flash off at him...oops. :dunno:huh :D

Thank You,
That first bat was happy to just sleep through everything, but that second fellow was screeching to beat the band. I'm going to try to lighten him up a bit. In that second picture he's got his mouth open and he's hollering. :tough
Thanks again!

Thanks Harry! The hardest part was finding them. Focus wasn't horrible and I had a tripod with me, but you're really limited for ground space in these particular locations so I opted for handheld. The sleeping guy was hard to find, but that other fellow was making so much noise he was practically waving a beacon. :)
