Thanks for the kind comments.

I'm waiting for someone to give an attribution, or for JC to confirm that he wants to list this one.

I'm planning to crop JC's required views from the HiRes image, as I have done on a couple previous submissions. Unfortunately I have tried to do 3D rendering from the HiRes source files, but the depth of field is not shallow enough to render the 3D accurately. This new BIE is "big" enough that I will do separate imaging at higher magnification (the HiRes is at ~1.7x) to give good 3D as I'd like to show you all how "tall" this BIE is. It is comparable to the 55-S B650 "Sausage" BIE in height, and it extends well below the BE, but does not also extend above the BE like the "Sausage". It may be the biggest 55-D BIE, but still not a contender against the 55-S B650.

I think it looks like a sleeping walrus.

It looks like a new one Ray, follow the instructions in the link below and send the required 6 cropped and resized images and I'll list it.

Sorry about the image issue on the site, I've trying to get my internet hosting service to fix the problem. But they haven't gotten back to me.

Well done Ray. Congrats.

I see the walrus.

ps. Before you mentioned "walrus", I was seeing a bullfrog ... but not a Coinfrog.
Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

Some folks on another forum (CU) say they see other things, like a rabbit, etc. Pareidolia is powerful!
