I like the framing, the colors, the idea, and the title. :) Something's weird in the editing, though. Were you doing a lot of changes using masks? It seems like some of the edges weren't quite right.
Interesting choice of subject and interpretation of the challenge, but I don't think a dichotomy is illustrated here. There is also a strange outliney kind of effect around the animals that doesn't quite work. 6
I see where you're going with it so okay meets the challenge (wouldn't have seen it if it weren't for the title though). I like the colors on the ground.
