Wildlife Taking Up the Whole Frame

This was exactly what I was looking for when making this contest. Photographing wildlife at such a close distance means you really have to think outside of the box when deciding composition. It's a challenge you succeeded at. Your editing on this image draws the eye directly to the dirty paws and photographing something like it's in first person is something I've never though of trying. Wonderful image and congratulations on being my first place winner.

I can't really put my finger on exactly why I like this photo so much but I do! Maybe it's the simplicity of its composition. The little bit of dried kelp on its nail also adds a nice pop of color and environment information to such a close up shot.

I knew instantly while I was narrowing down photos that this would be somewhere in my top 10. It took my breath away. I feel so protected and warm just looking at the image. You were able to tell a story even zoomed in so close. congratulation on making it in my top 10.

You nailed the focus on this image and I can tell that it was purposefully shot this way instead of a crop from a perviously shot photo. Many people just went back into their catalogue of photos to crop something they already had. Usually the photos that stand out most are the ones that purposefully shot the photo with my theme in mind instead of going that route and you photo is a great example of that.

This is a beautifully shot macro image. The monotone color scheme really accentuates this tiny creature. Its wonderful being able to see so much detail in an insect to small. Your composition also add to the interest in this photo.
