About This guy, with food visible on his head and a tongue long enough to reach it gave me the universal tongue sign while I tried to shoot him. Due to the forced angle of the shot, I narrowed the DOF to lessen a fence visible in the BG.

"This guy, with food visible on his head..."

Having looked at the photo, I wondered where to start. Then I read your "about" and fell about...

This is hilarious. You have managed to get the camel's face perfectly sharp and catch the movement of the tongue. You've got all that camelly character here. Pretty good job on the background also. I'm impressed with this one.

(Just as an aside, have you noticed how there's a smaller, somewhat wizened, face in this shot? Those are not camel nostrils at all, but eyes of another creature...)

Camel raspberry!!! Wonderful, amusing and so well done. Good idea on the DOF, which your quick camera setting reflexes adjusted for. You seem to have a penchant for animal faces covered with food!
