I had planned to enter a baby ocelot photo, an otter, or maybe one of the tiger cubs, but wound up using a photo I took way back on 4/21/06... before I started shooting in RAW.
Very happy with the result (especially since I suggested the challenge), but I was hoping the topic would prove more popular given the subject matter and no date restrictions.

Humorous & emotive at the same time-well done Shannon !
I was excited by the no date restriction but did not have time to enter-hope we see more challenges like this :)
"I was hoping the topic would prove more popular given the subject matter and no date restrictions."
I wonder if that's because people have been so turned off by the challenges of late that they are just being ignored. Well that's my excuse anyway. I first learned about the no date restriction when I read your notes. Maybe next time suggest putting a big red banner that says NO DATE RESTRICTION! Seriously though, I bet more would have entered as a result.
Congratulations, Shannon! As to your comment in your photog's notes--I'm sure I would have entered, but I don't think I've EVER taken a photo of a baby animal!
