Whaoh! That is awesome!
Did you do any special processing to that image?
Auto raw processing and auto levels in PS, then save for web. There was a contest in the Sigma forum where the only rule was you had to use all zeros in the raw converter. It really helped me try and nail the exposure on a lot more of my images. I just got lucky with this images and they eyes and tounge were in reasonably good focus. Just as easily it could have been the pruple flower blooms in the background and it would have been another delete button image. I did take several pix of the same image from f22 to f8 with the flash and this one at f11 just happened to have the best exposure.
