Photographer’s Note
This is an old picture I took 4 years ago in Mexico with my old Olympus digital. I took it off a ferry somewhere around Mazatlán. They point this cliff out on the tour because it looks like the head of a sleeping dog (or was it sleeping lion). You can see the snout sitting on the water and the eye right above it on the left side of the cliff. If you follow the skyline up from the eye you can see the curve of its head and then the beginning of its back on the far right. If you look below its head on the water, you can see its foot, although that is a little more abstract.
Technically this picture is not that great as I was just starting out in photography at the time, but I still think it's an interesting find.
Enjoy!

Rockyboy: Rotation CCW to make horizon line horizontal.
Increased contrast
Sharpened a little (USM 100%, 0,5 pixels)
Thanks for the work Rockyboy. I have not had the time to fool around with post processing to much as I am taking am pretty busy with school and work. I posted the picture originally just because I thought people might find it interesting, not on it's quality because the camera I took it with was not all that great and neither was the photographer. But you turned an alright picture into a pretty descent one. Thanks.

Hi Eric
Now I like strange and wonderful natural shapes, and this snoop dog lying with his nose in the water is great. There is also a small monkey just above the middle of his paw. The only real thing against you here is the time of day, hence no striking light to render nice colour hues, but you can pump-up the saturation a bit, methinks.
