The exposure is spot on! As well a very nicely framed composition. I love the expression on the animal. I always think it is a plus when the animal can be humanized. For some reason the background seems a little wonky, a bit to grainy in some areas and a bit blurry in others, but just a minor nitpick. An excellent photograph!

Very nice details in this image. Beautiful subjects and nice composition. Nice job... Sharpness looks real good and I'm glad you didn't attempt to over-sharpen. Good luck with the challenge!!!
