Comment by DarkRider:
I really like the lighting in this image it is soft and effective with good highlight and shadows. I agree with Eric’s' comment on the editing of the background and the black edges of the outer petals... an additional note the lower left petal has some blemishes on it. removing it before the picture would have been most effective or some spot editing...its all in the details...this is still my largest obstacle to overcome...I tend to see the flaws in others work easier then my own but I'm working on it.

Thanks for the comment Casey, you don't need strings, just a 70-200 f/4 L and lots of nerve ;)

Okay, where are the strings???? Lol, just kidding. Very nice photo. Looks like he is just frozen. Anybody know where to get a watch that will stop time so I can get some photos like this?

This is going in my favorites right away! Lynx are my favorite animal and I never see good photos of them and they're always hiding when I go to the zoo. Thanks for sharing!

Greetings,
Lovely photo, have you ever thought about doing pet photography? As for your sky situation, heres one idea, not the best probably but it should work, if you have another pic with a large amount of sky in it, cut the sky out, paste it into this photo as a new layer in PS then change the transparency on the original in the selected area (the white sky) so it is down to zero, set the transparency for the non sky area on the new layer to 0, then merge them, this should in effect transfer the sky from the "good" sky pic to the pic of the dog. Just my humble idea, should work, but there may be a better way...
Mike

Bet the out-take went in smoke, right? Nice composition. The "dark space" is very effective - and I like how the vessel is suspended (and simplified) by its placement.
