Yes I agree it was not a studio portrait but I wanted to share this image with all of you. This image was taken in a zoo & she was really happy to see her favorite animals there.
Actually this was my really last minute submission with so short time that I was unable to change the title also & with very minimal editing.

I loved this shot and gave it a 9. Sorry you didn't finish higher.
I guess it is because it isn't a studio shot. But that fact is not so obvious as it is in some others.
This does not look like an in studio portrait. The crop of the head in this case does nothing to enhance the photo. The collar sticking up in the left of the shot is very distracting. The skin tones are pleasing however and the exposure is good.
