Taken on a trip to the zoo. Cropped, neat image, slight dodge on mommas face,removed a rope, colors.
I had others that would probably do better technically, but this one is more fun ;-)

Really like the composition, a little more of their face might have been better but not a big deal. Or crop more on the right and top to make the more hilighted on the focus. I enjoyed the sun shining through the hair, gave it a sleepy glowy sunny feel. The focus looks to be on the back of the center one and makes the one on the left more noticibly out of focus. The crop I mentioned above might lessen this look.
great subject. If you could have put a little fill flash on the faces this would be a really nice shot. The hot spots on their backs are a little distracting, but not overwhelming.
By far my favourite from this challenge.. a beautiful moment and capture!! The detail of the fur, the sleeping expression, and the warmth of the sun on their backs all works for me.. wonderful..thank you.
Given the spirit of the challenge was to capture a shot of wildlife in its natural environment, I find it most difficult to believe that this was done with your entry. Needless to say my vote on this was very low given those circumstances. When a photo does not do its best in composition to depict actual challenge guidelines, my stadegy for voting immediately stops and it becomes a DNMC to me.
