Amazing clarity even down to the whiskers on his/her chin! Love the colorful bokeh and how it glows around his body. I just want to go up to him and pet his head:)
As soon as I saw this photo I knew it had SandyP written all over it! You have an amazing way of capturing animal life then making them come alive! Congratulations for making the top 5!
this was a total standout in the challenge ..
I love how you capture life .. be it human or animal .. your light shines thru all your photography ..
many congrats on a great place in the challenge ..
I personally felt this should ribbon .. but I'm a sucker for that most beautiful shallow dof and of course the beauty you have shown us ..
love this .. :)
damn .. looks like a winner to me ..
i am going to give you the highest praise right now ..
ie. has a SandyP feel ..
she is my all time favourite animal photographer .. and this is just mesmerizing ..
but for once i'm going to make a slightly negative comment .. which is that i feel you have oversharpened the eye a tad .. other than that .. this is perfection .. and endearing to the max .. :)
