That looks really weird (in a good way of course)! Cool shot, glad you got some off before he dissappeared into the distance.

You know, I am assuming that people gave you a low score because this portrait is of an animal as opposed to a human being. And that cracks me up because I am pretty sure that the challenge description does not say PEOPLE only. So the DPC voting literalists have failed in this case.

I think people misunderstand how difficult it is to take a portrait of an animal especially when you do not have the "perfect" studio light settings. These animals are going to do what they please and are not usually holding still all pretty until you are done.

I think sometimes it is difficult to create a mood and essence of a person with photography. This is great because to me this photo gives off a mood of pensive thought. The animal is either thinking of something or is basking in the warmth of the light. I love the detail and the texture that you can see on the animal's fur and horn. The lighting particularly on the mouth is wonderful. It looks as tho it is about to speak or kiss lol.

Great pic, deserved to score higher.

I love the shadows, the clarity stands out and love the dark colors. The little bit of blue sky just adds to this picture. Great job.

Cool colors and processing. That is definitely something from Outer Space hovering over your house. Catch a ride if you can, shoot some pictures, and then share them and your experience with us!!
