My favorite in the challenge -- absolutely wonderful use of the available light patterns and terrific tonal range.

What's with the two on the right who could give a hoot? Very nice composition - the placement and lines of the tree are particularly nice. Wouldn't it be great if the fence wasn't there -- though it isn't that obtrusive. Good score from me.

Probably my favorite cat entry and one of my favorite pets entries -- I did not go into the voting consciously biased for other-than-pets shots, but I noticed after I finished that I apparently was. This is just a lovely portrait of a beautiful cat, though -- I think I would like to be able to make out a bit of the body so the head didn't appear to be floating quite so much.

Nice detail and light and a regal near profile pose -- I like that I can see both eyes.

Wonderful action shot - love the dripping water and the look of his wet coat. Glad he was just practicing on a decoy :)

Terrific pov and a favorite though I would like to see whiter whites and blacker blacks plus a lightening in the area of the eyes if you could do that convincingly.

Pretty -- love the strong contrasts in the zebra stripes in the softness of the tones and focus of the surrounding grasses.

Nice capture and excellent title. I like an environmental portrait of a pet as well as of a person -- and that's quite well indeed :)

I love the pose, setting, and expression. Could be sharper in the eye area. Nice score anyway because I can relate so well -- must be one of those days.
