Took this while on my trip to St. Louis. it was either this, or a photo of Victor Wooten i took at the concert (reason for driving 11 hours to St. Louis). anyway, this little joker was asleep looking all content. thought it was cute. i really hope this one does well.
not much processing at all
Post Processing:
Level Horizon line / Contrast boost / Levels / Crop all in Adobe Lightroom Raw conversion
Slight Contrast adjustment
Boosted midtones in levels to show more of eye
Another contrast adjustment to fix the flatness
Resize to 640 on the long side
Save for web
Done.
Hope you enjoy. Hope this to be a new high image for me, but if not, i just hope it's a mid to high 6.
Good luck to all

I appreciate the subject but the crop could have been tighter on the left side to eliminate to a maximum that stripe of snow. Unfortunately I feel it's a bit overwhelming, it distracts from the main feature. If it could have been shot from another angle, more left to right it probably would have helped. I still give it very good marks.
