I found this guy in the Badlands National Park, gnawing on little grasses, on the latter-half of a 50 states in 50 days challenge I completed. (Photographed a landmark or representative element in each of the states: traveled in self-converted camper van with fiancé and dog for 48 of them)
I thought he stood out better when isolated on black, so I cut him out in Photoshop, dodged and burned and individually painted back the little hairs to make the cutout perfect.
