Certainly worthy of a nature magazine or book cover. The bokeh is pure deliciousness. :~)

LOL! One of the more entertaining and enjoyable cards in the challenge. Definitely worthy of print!

Ohmygoodness! This is brilliant! What a fabulous photo!

And I agree with you 100% on the post-processing thing. It is perfect exactly like it is. And I am so glad to see that dpc is doing so much better about rewarding beautifully processed photos instead of going for the ones that are saturated and processed to the point of ugly (in my opinion anyway).

CONGRATULATIONS! This is an amazing challenge to score 14th place in!

Originally posted by bmilne: nice capture, but could use a tune up in photoshop to make it pop just a bit more, especially in the eye

Appreciated the comment and suggestion. I opted not to Post-process this more as I wanted it to truly look like it really was. A Lion's eye, when closed is a light color lid showing and burned it in a bit, as it really looks weird, almost makes them look like they are blind.

To all that left so many great compliments, thanks!
Was a nice change of pace to score well.
