The image: Shot in a really dark place...used SB800 to light up this little fellow, not a great shot, but the zoo was closing and I was the only one there. I defied the sign that said NO FLASH.
The Edit: B and W, some tint, some d and b, usm, noise reduction layer mask, some selective sharpening. It's a little dark, but that's the environment
The Prediction: I think this might do poorly on one hand as it is dark, and it might do well as these are rare elusive marsupials only found in Australia...I am going to hope to get at least 6, but a 5.5 won't surprise me.

Well, you sure do know your voters, don't you! This time, I wish you had been wrong :( I like it! I've never seen an animal like that. I don't think even our Sea World has one of those fellows.
unique shot, well done! 7 Back to bump up to 8, on review I feel this shot deserves better because of the difficulty involved. Great job on getting the focus right.
A good action shot rich in detail with plenty to look at. A good exposure that just seems a little flat which may be the result of the lighting, but more likely the result of the dark and gray. A worthy entry into the challenge with good detail and action component. Having said that, it just appears to be uninteresting in an artistic sense.
