Where have I seen that eye before? ;^) I thought it belonged to a black rabbit.

Nice Ray! I like it. One thing I really like about it is the way the bird is looking back over its shoulder. Good detail on the bird - looks almost like you could reach out and touch it! ;^) You can do a lot of things with that background (easily select the color, replace it...you know, maybe white? catch my drift? he-he).

Smile and keep having fun!

Creeping around on hands & knees to see this one? ;^) I really like the compostion and earthy tones. Nice job of focusing and capturing the clarity of the frog's eye. Well done. Top 3 pick for me. Good luck!

At first glance you don't see the turtle because of the bird (which is wonderfully backlit I might add). Once I noticed it I had a good chuckle. ;^) Very good timing to see and capture this. Title is cute, and helpful. One of my top 3 picks for the challenge. Good luck!

Very cool capture, getting this owl out in the open like this! Wonderful camouflage it has. Nice focus and clarity. Didn't oversharpen. Looks like a glint of light in the eyes...did you use fill-in flash? Just curious. Only nitpick is the centering of the subject but it's not costing you anything in scoring points from me. One of my top 3 picks.

Good luck in the challenge. ;^)

You did a nice job of blurring the background with your exposure/DOF setup. The bird is well lit and focused. I guess technically this shot is hitting it pretty much right on. Something in the subject matter itself that is just "OK". Many, many, birds in this challenge and to score higher with a common subject is going to take something unique. JMO.

Good luck in the challenge, and take care! ;^)

Cute! That made me smile soon as I saw it. Titles DO help! Nice composition with positioning of the subject, and the tone you choose helps. Sky is a bit washed out, but not a major impact since there is little sky in the image overall.

Good luck in the challenge. ;^)

THAT'S RIGHT, THE BUCK STOPS HERE!

Very nice catch! A little hot on the whites (ear and neck), but otherwise an interesting image. May look like your meter wanted to focus on the branches just in front of the deer (hate it when it does that!) and kept the deers head from being sharply focused. Giving you bonus points for just getting the shot in the first place! Well done.

Good luck in the challenge.

Charge!

Run! Wait...don't run - they said that's not safe either, plus bears are quite a bit faster. Hmmm, toss it a bone? Change your underwear? Pull out the backup firearm?

I see you made it back to post the image, so it must have ended ok. ;^) Good luck in the challenge.

Nice energy here in this shot. Looks like this doe has heard something off to your left and is getting a bit nervous. ;^) Good job of getting close for the image capture.
