That's cool to know this piece of information regarding this wonderful image. I was on vacation when the results of this challenge came in and never really went thru the results in depth upon return.

This is a gorgeous photo! Well composed, great detail and color. The only nitpik I have is the reflection on the eye. It is what it is, but perhaps it could be played with a bit to remove the trees, or maybe some other approach entirely with cloning, etc...? One other thing, have you tried boosting the contrast just a tiny bit? My work monitor is not the best to judge photos with, so please bear with me if I'm way off base.

Surprised you don't have this up as a print. Again, well done!

Smile and keep having fun! ;^)

It is a juvenile and so docile that I literally had the lens in its face and it didn't mind. The parents have been coming around for some time and bring their babies every year !

Wow! Very stunning! My only wish is that the chairs were either lined up or gone.

Amazing, 6.6 and not even top 20... Heckuva shot. I'd like to have seen it higher.
