I love the dirt on his face. It would have been better for me if I could see the right eye.

The shallow DOF suites this image well. I think the lighting hurts it, though.

I wish we had some detail on his right eye. On my monitor it's coming across as a black blob -- no detail at all.

The moving light in this was a spotlight in my hand, it just broke up the uv light a little, scored better the I expected anyway, thanks for the coments everyone.

I realize you were working with natural light, but it sure would have been nice to get some light on that left eye! But you captured a lovely look on it's face and the square crop works very well for this.

Love the subject, don't mind his dirty face, but wish I could see his left eye a little better.

The harsh light really hurts the image, IMO. The fact that the eye closest to the camera is completely in shadow makes it hard to appeciate his cute little face. With a wildlife shot like this, I don't want to say "use a reflector" or "turn his head into the light" because that seems like silly advice. Maybe shooting when the sun is lower in the sky or in more open shade is the best strategy.

I like your tones in this image, and your focus is right on. His whiskers are nice and sharp and the bokeh in the background is very pleasant.

Nice effect. Very hard to know if a moving light source was used, its very hard to tll because the shadows aren't visible.
