Ah! a tick! [141/365]

Yesterday this tick bit my puppy, mojo, on the front leg-pit(idk if that's what it's called, the dog version of the armpit lol). The skin was loose there and apparently dead, as it just came right off when I removed the tick. Mojo didn't seem to feel it much.

 

I'm not sure if the indentations on the back are from the tweezers when I plopped him into the lysterine(that's what caused the skin to turn blue, I couldn't find the rubbing alcohol), or if that's just a natural indentation. But yeah, mouth wash killed it in less than a minute.

reversed manual lens(nikon kit lens) on a canon 30d set to f/11, used focus stacking in cs5 as this was three different focal planes. DOF was hair thin even at f/11.
