Do you have a zoo in your back yard? Or you're just lucky enough to really have creatures like this come to you? Too bad you cut his horn off!

Great texture and sharpness, from the glint in it's eye to the blowing beard. I like the close crop, focuses on the subject and not any distracting background. Good work!

What an awesome capture. I love the clarity of his eyes. The wind blowing his beard (or whatever you call that thing on his chest) gives it a sense of movement. Great DOF.

this shot looks straight out of a community newspaper. i can almost see the blurb in the paper underneath it what is happening. good work to get in close and frame! (ps how much cropping did you do?)

Hope - For a Kitten Without a Mom

Comment by Louison:
This is very sweet. I especially like the look on the onlooking girl.

The mother of this kitten was probably moving her babies to a new location, one by one, and this one was found before the mother could come back for it. It is common for cat mothers to move their babies to a new place when they feel a threat in the present location. I hope the little one does OK.

And not even out of breath. You won't need those jackets back in Texas. Looks like a real great time!

I Like the way the textures and colors work in this image, the clouds give a great perspective of distance, and the position of the lone figure is spot on. Well done Sandy.

The Precious Metal that Holds My Favorite Gems

Comment by Schuff:
My favorite bean! I actually have a 4-5 foot standing classic of this machine. Originally made for gum so when I fill it with Jelly Bellys they tend to fall out on their own, which I don't complain. ;)

"Not meeting the challenge for metal in my opinion." <- I guess this guy has never seen one of these in real life eh? =)
