Ohmygoodness! I have to say, I am blown away by the phenomenal photos in this challenge. I've given out more 10's than I think I ever have. But when this one popped up on my screen. . .it grabbed me the most of any I've seen so far. It's so simple. . . yet so incredibly dramatic and well done. The composition. The moon. The synchronized wings in flight and flawless detail of those birds make this my #1 favorite in this challenge! In fact, its the only one I've actually picked as a favorite so far! I wish I could give it a 20 to differentiate it from all the other 10's I've given. But 10 will have to do :)

You can realy see the age in the eyes, and of course the fur. You've captured her well.

Ohh, nice dog, expression well captured! I find the colored foreground a bit distracting.

8 - Very nice portrait. Just wish there was a little less cushion/fabric at the fore and the dear old girl's eyes just a little sharper focus too.
