What a fun challenge! I had so many cool pictures, but in the end, this one was my favorite. I went to the zoo, and the bears especially seemed to pose for me. After the challenge, I'll post a couple more of my bear poses.

I didn't know until I got some comments in the challenge that Tasha4Paws died in September. I chose her name because I felt a kindred spirit to her -- being a person myself who has an inordinate affection for anything 4-pawed. I knew I would find a photo that I loved for her name. I hope the picture honors her memory.

sandy this one is perfect, i really liked it when i voted, and it gave me a chuckle... im sure tasha would be lovin this too... well done, i would've loved to see this on front page though.. to me it was one of the best in the challenge....
8 - Very good. Hope you get a smile from this. Criticism; only the bottom 'cut' really, but likely done the best with what you had. Like the straw 'element', good eye capture. Perhaps if the nose and eyes were a little sharper, but not sure, and don't know if the '4paws' would have gained the same focus in doing so. Up to 8 from 7.
It looks like you really connected with this sweet little bear. He is looking right at you! This fits the challenge beautifully, wonderful - DOF, clearity, and composition.
Way cute! And appealing lighting and depth of field. It looks like a studio shot with the marble-look background if I ignore the hay, hay in a studio might be a major faux pas.
