I gave this a 7 and saw in it what it seems you did (after reading your comments). Difficult to leave the comment I want without puns, but .. the muscle definition in his body is amazing and well captured, coupled with the shadows over his body and the movement of his tail and the general intensity. Well done for obviously an isolated location where you didn't have much time to 'set up'.

Hey, what happened to the "no genitalia" rule? LOL It reaally is sort of majestic. Beautifully lit.

i like how all the textures "go" with each other. her eyes are lovely

Deliberately scare her... 'Protect' her... Then, grin when she hugs you.

Nice system he's got going there! - fun picture, good expression and obvious knowledge of composition.

I suspect this was taken in less than ideal lighting.

That's pretty unique mask and a processing to match it. The leaves and eyes play together nicely.

This might have been stronger done in low-key rather than high-key. To me, sadness is better conveyed with darkness rather than light.

One of my top scores in this challenge - I really like the created mask - very well done. The muted tones and her coloring work very well together.
