Comment by aKiwi:
Probably not doing so well as it is not really a portrait or a pet
Here is the wikipedia definition of a portrait:
A portrait is a painting, photograph, sculpture, or other artistic representation of a person, in which the face and its expression is predominant. The intent is to display the likeness, personality, and even the mood of the person. For this reason, in photography a portrait is generally not a snapshot, but a composed image of a person in a still position. A portrait often shows a person looking directly at the painter or photographer, in order to most successfully engage the subject with the viewer.

This is your Pet? Would have made more sense if it was in a cage.

It's well done, but I'm having trouble believing this is your pet. *sigh*

Sorry, but a wild bird is NOT a pet, and this is a pet challenge. Nice wildlife shot, although its beak is behind a flower.

While this is a very nice picture, I cannot silence the voice in my head that is screaming "Shoehorn!". I'm not an extreme stickler for rules, but it is PET portrait, not "random animal portrait".
