I liked this challenge a lot. There were already a lot of entries in the first day. I got the idea because i had the elephant photo printed on alu at 80x60 (cm not inches) and discovered that i ran out of place to hang it
Photolady95 : Great shot of this bird (I can not guess which kind it is) it looks like it even took a bath before you got the photo judging the roughed up feathers.
Bruce Clark : This is amazing indeed. It could almost be the same photo. But is is 10.450km apart (I checked

). I always like the tigers and most of the time there is a massive glass pane in between the tiger and the camera which makes taking a photo somewhat more challenging.
Tmlawes : Did you not hand him the napkin before you took the photo to get a “clean” shot. I always find herons difficult to sneek up to but you succeeded very well and even got a front shot.
SpecialK : Of course, the king of the animals had to be there. I like this shot a lot. You took it from an elevated place and it looks like he is staring in the distance trying to figure out which Zebra to eat for dinner.
atupdate : After we had grumpy cat for years we now have a new internet sensation I think. Grumpy Eel

. Very good shot. I do not know how you took it but it is amazing. I tried to get some photos of fish in an aquarium and had a lot of them but none of them was a succes. Very grainy and/or not sharp and you got this one so close and so clear.
CharLac : Good frog photo, did you get it in the wild ? I like the deep greens in the frog a lot. I have been looking at the photo for some time to see if I would prefer a quarter turn to the left, but could not reach a conclusion on that question.
jchorst : I think it should be a hard rock band. I am not really into fishing, but i like the setup of the photo. Only thing that might have improved it would be if you found koi for some additional color.
jacamar : this is a really good chipmumk shot. I had to open the link to see what animal it is, but you got it really sharp and it has a lot of details.
Rod_grant : I bet she/he wanted to have a royalties discussion with you

. Nice clean shot, i really like how the curly hair turned out. It softens the powerful look somewhat.
lukulele : that is something I do not have to worry about. And i am not talking about the rodents. Very nice shot from a good POV. I also like you made the dimensions of the photo a lot longer, suits the snake.
charliezap : You did have to be afraid I think. It looks like he already had lunch. You must be living in a nice location if you get these on your railing. I have to settle with sparrows

. But great catch and the wintery “framing” adds to the setting. I also like that the background color is in sync with the bird.
ramseybuckeye : it was a matter of patience i guess before someone would pick a cat

. I would say it is a Maine Coon. I like these a lot and always find them a joy and i have 7 at the moment although I used to have over 20 when My cattery was still “operational” (my forum name is my catteryname. If you add a .com you can still find the homepage). As to Fester, i think he has been portrayed very well. With the light from below it almost seems as if he wanted one of these ghostly shots for halloween.
aaacb : I see you found another couch tiger

. I like the shot, and as black is always very difficult, you got the cat with a lot of detail. Also the eyes stand out very beautiful. The pinkish light coming through the (what I guess) bedroom curtains gives a nice contrast.
sr20det387 : Welcome to this challenge and you were certainly in time. Nicenphoto of Chester and I like the POV. I also like the way the second dog is standing. In a fleeting glance you might think it is one big dog.
nobody : Good catphoto of this little lady. I especially like how the eyes and the whiskers stand out. Looking at the reflection in her eyes it looks like you used a flash. The pupils stayed nicely black though. “Red” eyes in cats can look very awkward. I have a Maine Coon in almost the same colorsetting called Hello Kitty
noelcmn : Great photo. These are not easy to get. They are somewhat skittish in my experience (although this specific kind are not to be found around here). I really like the amount of negative space in this photo. It is just dark enough for the white bird.
eva : Great photo of this little deer. I love the colors and the details on this photo especially the couple of hairs on the brow of the eye on the other side of the deer. I also like the fact that the photo has some movement in the ear. It pictures their normal behavior In my opinion.
