Animals (not insects)

Thanks for entering my contest. I don't know how in the world you got this superb shot but however you did it is absolutely AMAZING!! The lighting, the book, the angle, the kitten, the B/W, every single thing is just stunning. Especially the lighting, that is just wonderful. I just love it! This would be a good photo for a pets calendar. Great job on this portrait!

This image is strikingly beautiful. I love how you caught the golden light on just the fox cub's ear tips and one eye. The black all around draws to the subject really nicely. It almost made it into the top 10.

Thanks for entering my contest! I saw this photo and just KNEW that it had to get in my top 10. Everything about it is just perfect. Some might say that the green blur on the left is distracting, but I think that it actually is nice there. The perfect blur all around the chipmunk and the chipmunk being in amazing focus, nibbling a little grass stem......I just LOVE this photo. Great job!

Thanks for entering my contest. What a wonderful shot! I am surprised that you could get this close ( 250 mm) and get such a lovely candid shot of this leopard. The lighting is exquisite. I love how the bottom part of the big cat is hidden slightly by some lovely blurred red leaves, and how the background has so many nice complimentary blurred grasses. The yellow grasses in the foreground are perfect as well.

Thanks for entering my contest. This angle of the photo is very nice. I love the gosling's soft colors and catchlights in the eye as well. It would be nice if this photo had a bit more clarity and quality but it is very lovely as is. The little stick from the goslings mouth is a bit distracting but kinda adds to the picture as well. I love the blurred tints of green in the background.

Thanks for entering my contest. This photo drew my eye the very instant that I saw it. The angle is just perfect. The cat's expression is just so right on spot, and the dark colors merging with the soft light on the face, coupled with the lovely green eye, is just a wonderful photo. Absolutely great job on this photo!

Thanks for entering my contest. I LOVE the hilarious expression of this dog. The goofy lolling tongue and the head at an angle is very eye-catching. The background makes the subject pop out even more.

Thanks for entering my contest. I am almost speechless looking at this photo. It's simply wonderful. That sure was a lucky shot that the lion turned into the light of the setting sun. The water drops on the end of his ruff are slightly eye-catching and form a nice extra addition. I can just see this photo on a Nat Geo magazine cover!

This image is so perfect! I love the puppy up on the fence with an inquiring expression, perhaps wanting to be let out. The green background with some dark at the top is very pleasing to the eye as well.

Thanks for entering my contest. This photo is very nice. It looks like it has just tad too much sharpness, but other than that the clarity and colors are so pretty and complimentary. Charlie almost looks like he is posing for his photo and the wooden box with the algae on it is a lovely extra bit.

Thanks for entering my contest. This photo stood out to me after looking at it a few times. I love the serious and intense expression of the owl as it is looking over its shoulder. The angle of the post is very agreeable to the picture, and the rose vines in the background are also lovely. What makes the whole photo stand out even more is the lovely soft pastel colors of the background, merging together in different ways and colors. Great job!
