Nice pose and details. On those cold mornings it must be nice to have soft down feathers to keep you warn.

In some ways I like the image and in others I just find it awkward, I keep wondering where her other arm is or if she even has one, also cutting her fingers off hurts the image. I do however like the lighting on the arm and face and the red flower really works nicely with her colorful tattoos. Interesting and awkward at least made me take time to really observe the image. Good luck in the challenge.

LOL, sorry, kind of an American reference. I'm not sure what Fraiche is but Denny's is kind of an old family diner style chain restaurant, typically they have pretty good pies and desserts with traditional american style foods, not real fancy but consistent meals and service through out the chain. Not the type of restaurant you will crave going to but kind of an old stand by with decent food and a variety of choices. Also I believe most of them are open 24 hours so they fill a need for that late night craving for pie!

It was a10 from meas well. The style, tones, setting, framing, pose, water on the glass, uneven glazing on the glass, all come together, and you did a fantastic job with the BW processing. Congratulations!

Wow, they have 8 legs... Oh wait there is a second one hiding! Sorry to be so sarcastic but in wildlife photography having merged animals is a big no no, I think we all fall in love with captured shots of animals that we take because we just get excited to have seen and gotten a shot of a particular animal but any time there are extra legs and horns sticking out it really degrades the image. Still a fun shot but really ends up being a more of a memory shot for the photog but usually not going to be as appealing to others. 4
