This is sweet!! I just love the detail you brought out not only in the squirrel but the cement as well, and I love the added warmth. My kind of processing!

Beyond the silly rays, I love the light that is blasting the other bird right in the face/eyes. Funny stuff!

Comment by CNovack:
Increasing the contrast really helped make the spider pop off the yellow flower more (you can really make out some nice details on the spider). The original had some flat contrasts and some tones. The PP helped increase the visual appeal by increasing the contrast between the two main subjects and the tones are richer. Darkening the background behind the flower also helps it to pop visually. Hmmm, tis a shame that you could not ask the spider to pose in a different position - if the spider's direction was flipped the other way the orientation/direction of the spider's legs would nicely mimic the orientation/direction of the center pedals.

My absolute favorite shot in the challenge. I love the lighting and the simple beauty these two provide. If this doesn't ribbon for you I will be greatly surprised.

"Just a silly image" that 99% of us here could not create. This is great. I've added it to my favorites.

From the thumbnail I thought that bird was on fire! (or made to look like it.) I was afraid to open this and see all of the outraged hollering in the comments! Silly me...it's just a magical chickadee. Everybody likes those!
