Outstanding shot, everything works well together here, the color in the blurred backround, the backlight and the use of fill-in flash (?). Maybe a centered version would have been even better as its body faces a bit out of the frame to the right and its face out of the frame to the left. Congrats on the ribbon, great collection you have.

Love the backlighting effect on this shot!
Post actions
Fill in flash at its best. impressive.
Post actions
Magnificent light effect here.
Post actions
Great backlighting, catchlight in the eyes and detail all around. You've even caught the dirt on the paws and nose. My only suggestion would be to try and tone down the highlights on the right as some of them seem to be a bit blown. 9
Post actions
WON-DER-FUL!! The backlighting makes all the difference in this shot really giving it that "something unexpected" that makes it stand out. There is still enough lighting on the body to be able to make out the details, and the catch-lights in the eyes really help define the face. A terrific shot, and one of my few 10's.
Post actions
This is so wonderful. you captured just enough light in the front to get wonderful detail, like that cute face and the dirt on his paws and the glow from behind is just awesome. Wonderful shot.
Post actions
Precious, precious.. one of my favorite animals. The backlighting is wonderful
Post actions
This is really cool- the light illuminating the animal is just like a halo, it's beautiful. The texture's amazing and the expression's hilarious, great job! 10

I think this will be getting the blue ribbon soon. The light and exposure are simply perfect. Love this shot. 10

This is a great portrait. I'd rate it higher, but I can't tell anything about the environment. That said, the backlighting is awesome.
Post actions
The backlighting is superb! Your focus is so clear and your use of light is excellent.
Post actions
Great shot with excellent backlighting. It's amazing you were able to get so much light on the subject with that much light behind it as well. The dirt on the paws and nose is a nice touch as well since it shows what the animal was doing. Really nice job.
Post actions
Great shot. Would have done well in the backlighting challenge I bet.
Post actions
Very, very, good photograph. Like the lighting and color. Great dof. Cute animal.
Post actions
The backlighting really makes this special. Also love that you can see all the details sharp and clear in the shaded area of the creature. Wonderful. A 10.
Post actions
This is great. The light is cool and the frame really works well.
Post actions
:) You should rank high...colors and light on fur... you shine! Good luck.
Post actions
Extremely well done - my only 10 for the challenge. Good luck.
Post actions
Absolutely stunning backlight - and yet still a glint in the eye. Did you use flash or was there some ambient light or did you need to dodge a little on the eyes to bring that out? Whichever it is the result is superb. Very intimate portrait of one of my favourite critters.

NIce portrait! I would photoshop out what looks like flash in the eyes.

One of the better in the challenge in my opinion. Wonderful composition. The look on the face is wonderful. I also absolutely adore the backlighting illumination the fur on this guy.
