How adorable! It's a shame the focus seems to be more on the rocks than on the animals' heads -- although the bottom right one seems to be in focus... Also, very clever idea.
I don't know, these aren't really what I think of as opposites! But the picture is adorable, and giving you the benefit of the doubt for the challenge. You might have considered cropping a bit closer to these subjects.
Good detail - I like how the third animal is staring right at me. Not sure your title captures "opposite" however. Sitting and standing are different kinds of "stationary", while crawling is a kind of "motion." So yeah, there's a couple of individual opposites working here, but the picture as a whole doesn't convey a single message.
Opposites 1: sitting standing
Opposites 2: stationary, moving.
Now, that I have that off my chest this is a gorgeous picture. Even though I thought I would never like to see rust again. A 10.
Very nice, so glad NOT to see more ice cubes on fire. Good sharp image, creative take on topic and unique subject. I like the 'crawling' one the best he looks very mischievious. 10
OHMYGOD!! I am LOVING all the animal/nature shots in this challenge. This one is fantastic. I just love love love it. It's perfect for lighting, composition, movement, humour, challenge description. My third 10!

Nice composition--I like that you kept space on the left side, it provides balance to the strong subjects. The gaze of the one animal is intense--helps make this zoo picture amusing. Great detail in the fur. Nice lights in the eyes. Wish it had less of a domesticated feeling about it.
Man, you outdid me in the meercat world! I better get to the zoo. I have work to do! I love the color, the composition, the expressions. I wish the middle meercat was more in focus (in the eyes) and I wish the photo was a little brighter too. Great job though!
