Very fun expression. It looks a little contrasty and maybe a tad oversharpened or else you just used a fairly high ISO. Having the detail in the skin and fur is good, but it just feels a little harsh or sharp, if you know what I mean. The brightness is good.

A face that only a mother could love... well, not really. Actually he has a funny face and that makes it endearing. My only complaint is the bright highlights from the flash and the slight out of focus area of his mouth. But other than that - perfect crop. Good color. Funny photograph. 8

Interesting subject. Focus could have been a bit sharper but over all thought provoking.

Well done.

Great picture...you can really see the emotion in his/her eyes. Shame that this pic is pretty noisy (digital noise).

Thanks to those who commented. I enjoyed this photo the most so that is why I submitted it, although I know it did not totally fit the challenge it was very complex. For those who asked the water “creatures” are actually a type of seaweed common in the San Juan Islands here in Washington State. On to the next challenge!

An excellent collection of nature's colors. Flat lighting was your friend.

This is gorgeous. Love the fall colors in contrast with the rock. What are the swimmers?
