Great shot! Cool the way he's perched up there. Really like the focus, colours, dof.... and the different texures of the leaves, petals and newt are amazing.

This has got to be one of the most moving recent images of Ground Zero I've seen, I can feel the ghosts. Am adding it to my favourites so I can come back to it and remember.

Interesting and funny take on the challenge. Nice perspective on the photo.

I've found you get a better light on animals early in the am or later in the afternoon.....less reflection off their coats and would have worked on the bone too. Watch the background of the shot........turn round, move the camera up and down..... just so you don't get something like the line of grass, trees, fence just above the back. A solid grassy background would have really focussed the eye on the subject.

Just as you go to take the pic.....say their name. If you're really lucky they look up and you get the eyes in the pic. The great joy and challenge of animal pics is their wonderful unpredictability.
