The famous image of Einstein taken by United Press photographer Arthur Sasse in 1951 Albert Einstein has been the subject of, or inspiration for, many works of popular culture.
On Einstein's 72nd birthday on March 14, 1951, United Press photographer Arthur Sasse was trying to persuade him to smile for the camera, but having smiled for photographers many times that day, Einstein stuck out his tongue instead. This photograph became one of the most popular ever taken of Einstein, often used in merchandise depicting him in a lighthearted sense. Einstein enjoyed this photo and requested UPI to give him nine copies for personal use, one of which he signed for a reporter. On June 19, 2009, the original signed photograph was sold at auction for $74,324, a record for an Einstein picture.
Einstein is a favorite model for depictions of mad scientists and absent-minded professors; his expressive face and distinctive hairstyles have been widely copied and exaggerated. Time magazine's Frederic Golden wrote that Einstein was "a cartoonist's dream come true."
"Einstein" has become a word used to describe someone extremely intelligent; the name is also applied sarcastically to someone who states the obvious or displays a lack of intelligence or insight ("Way to go, Einstein!"). - info via wikipedia

Absolutely wonderful. The color zones, the lighting, all of it. I hope I can be as good as this one day!

Yet again OP, you never cease to amaze. This will sound so weird, but incredible job on the tongue. I have no clue how you are so good at this.
