Wow, he looks surprisingly cute - nothing like the possums around here which are hideous! Great focus, love the pink ears.

Wow. Bokeh so soft and subject so sharp. Amazing that you could do this without layers. Looks like a viceroy.

This is pretty! I like your centering and of course the perspective, oh, and the frame works too. Possibly maybe I might give this a bump in contrast, noise reduction or saturation - maybe all three - but I guess that's the dpc warping talking. Or maybe you pulled this out of deep shadows and it won't bump anymore? Amusing take on the challenge too - making the idiom literal. Don't be too sad about the score - clearly a bunch of people did like it pretty well :)
