Went to the local zoo while visiting the Grandparents in AZ this holiday week. Couldn't resist entering this shot. Post process: slight crop of grass, levels, resize, border.

This was my favorite of this challenge. My favs list is packed but when I reconsider I will place this lovely image in it. Congratulations on your YELLOW!
I think your title is poor. Everybody always tries to incorporate the theme of the challenge into the title, and usually the titles end up being lame. Your image fits the title, it's hardly necessary to put the word "even" in the title. I give you a six
7 - Good. Nice and simple. Criticism; difficult perhaps, but even 'crisper' focus, especially around the eyes, would have made this even better in my opinion. Maybe also a slightly different crop, more at the top, depending what you had to work with. Up to 7 from 6.
Tighter cropping, straightening, desaturation and a thinner border would have made this a fantastic photograph, as opposed to a decent one. GREAT concept, though! :)
I really like this photo, great composition. Something seems a little off, to put this over the top for me, maybe the background is a little too bright.
