I want to thank everyone for all the comments, it really means a lot. I normally respond to everyone but I work up this morning with a 101.7 temperature, so don't have any energy. It is almost 4pm here and this is the first time I have gotten out of bed.

I am super excited because I have been trying to get a Blue Ribbon in a free study for a lot time now. To do it with an image that has barely any editing in a best of a year extended editing challenge makes it all that better.

If anyone is interested in the full story behind this photo (plus other photos) you can find it here.

You can also find the story behind The King photo here.

Now back to bed.

Ronnie

Oops! My apologies to you, little vixen!

I called you a male.

You're very beautiful and... well photographed!

Congratulations to you and Ronnie!

What a great picture! I am sure you treasure the experience too. It is so special when animals, especially wild animals take an interest in you (a positive interest of course :-)).
Congratulations on the blue
