Comment by Sinky:
What a stunning shot!! The lighting is just perfect, and the whole composition, and near-total desat is so effective. I just love it.

Comment by BrianR:
The contrasts are good, useing a soft texture as fur does not really give what you are looking for...7

Comment by Jutilda:
My only complaint is not a hint of sparkle in the eyes. Love the detail and how the light hits here and there.

Comment by ubique:
This was surprisingly under-appreciated, and there's no clue in the comments as to why. I saw it only after the challenge, but I'd have placed in in the top ten (and certainly higher than any of the top three). But even leaving my erratic tastes aside, it had many qualities that should have been embraced by the leaden masses at DPC as well. It has beautiful colours and textures, and the composition is classically appealing. There is also a certain amount of very charming whimsy; leaves and fruit, separated by the wire mesh ... surely there's some irresistible allegorical (or at least figurative) dimension to that? Maybe you should have just hammered a fistful of nails into the apples.

nice simple arrangement with strong geometry contrasting with a more organic shape on the diagonal. 8
