Animals Behaving Badly

After hours of trying to decide which would be the winning image, my mind kept returning to this photo. The perfectly crisp focus, the natural looking background colors, the details in the frogs skin, the beautiful capture of the frogs bulging eyes and the perfect composition, all add to the brilliance of this photo. I can imagine this photo being on a calendar or display in a museum. The caption exactly matches the vibe of the photo . Congratulations on the win.

Congratulations on 5th place in the top 10 judge ratings. I love the lighting and composition in the photo. The photo isn't overly bright which makes for a more natural look and also adds to the feel. Very good close up showing all the details in the seal pups skin.

I applaud your creativity in this photo. Black and white adds to the mysterious feel for this photo. Using minimal lighting adds further appeal and draws the audience in to the face of the cat. The softer focus and background areas that are darker also increase the mystery in this photo.

Congratulations on placing 3rd in this theme. I was firstly drawn to the earthy colors in the background and immediately then focused in on the face of the female bird. The amount of detail in this photo is incredible. The female gripping on to the thorn, the male holding her by the head, the strong focus on the birds with the softer focus on the red earth behind all make for an incredible photo. Perfect lighting and composition.

Congratulations on your outstanding entry for this theme. The Bonobos humanlike nature is perfectly captured in this photo. The incredible details shown in the skin and the hairs add to the portraiture of this photo. The emotion of the moment has been captured.
