I really like how the texture/color in the fur blends in with the wall - great natural camouflage for the animal - well exposed shot, great focus - your composition is good, the red flowers a nice touch - getting the glint in the eye is often very difficult and adds so much to the shot.. love the light, the shadow adds interest, great angle .. can't think of anything to suggest to improve this photo... bumping the score

This is a wonderful shot and suits the spirit of the challenge well - the color of the red berry in the bird's mouth is echoed in the color of the bird's face.. just a delight on the eye.. great detail in the feathers.. excellent job getting the catch light in it's eye.. the composition of this photo is strong.. well done

Beautiful little fox and an appropriate title given their love of raiding the chicken house :) Nice catch light in it's eyes - I like the composition, it looks like it is resting it's snout on the triangle in the bottom left hand corner which fits with it's sleepy yet watchful eyes .. I think cloning out the white patches about the head of the fox would be helpful as my eyes go there, also, on my monitor, there the space beside the nose of the fox is a little hot - hard to do much about that given the circumstances of the challenge.. not like you can drag the fox into a studio I know.. nicely photographed.

love the detail in this pure white bird. excellent exposure, great job getting such crisp focus on it's feathers.. the b/g is perfect, love the muted reds in the lower left hand side.

Getting an eagle in flight is a goal of wildlife photographers - getting one with it's claws extended and a clear view of the eye makes it even sweeter - great job.

Now that's a well fed squirrel! I really like the sdof, your eyes are brought right to the squirrels head and your crisp focus makes it just pop - love the catch light in the eyes, gives it such personality.. looks like it should be an illustration in a children's book - an excellent photo, suits the challenge perfectly - bumping the score right up!

I like the painterly effect of your photo.. and think that gulls are under appreciated as they are truly beautiful birds and so graceful in flight.. I like the grain in this shot and the soft muted tone.. it looks like you bumped the colors up a fair bit and that worked well with the blue and the yellow..but not as well with the red - the red in the bird's feet, it's beak and whatever it is holding in it's mouth look a bit off, maybe taking the red down a bit in your pp would have been a better choice, keeping true to the painterly effects the rest of your photo has.

What makes this an outstanding photo is the b/g color matches the color in the bird and has a very Autumn feeling to it. Nice catch light in the birds eye.. might have bumped it a bit more and dodged the color in it's eye, but that is a personal choice.. I like the reflection on the birds beak - nicely photographed.
