Greetings from the Critique Club!

Very cute lamb and essentially a good shot with good comp and focus, I think the main problem here is the post processing. It's the first thing I noticed about the shot, not the subject. Of course it's an Expert challenge and you know you're going to be up against some stiff competition, so many feel compelled to go a little crazy with the pp. You don't need to.

Reading your notes, you mention that the lamb likes coffee and Oreo cookies...I think it would have been absolutely hilarious to have a shot of her snarfing down an Oreo, just as she started in on it so people could see what she was eating. Then a simple desat, a little bit of contrast to bring out the blacks and eh wala, a very cute and even more funny/appealing shot of a silly-looking animal doing something very silly :-)

If lamby is still around, maybe try setting a place for her...a little coffee in a coffee cup on a table and a plate with a couple of Oreos on it. Get your camera set up so you're ready, and then just shoot away as she helps herself. Hey, why not? Have some fun, especially with such a cooperative subject :-)

Feel free to PM me

Susan

Fabulously sharp and detailed image of the lamb...

I know Dallas will enjoy it.

I fear, though, that the lack of pure blacks will hurt your score.

Nevermind that... it's all for Dallas!

Lovely. It looks like an illustration out of a book from a long bygone era.

It's a little scary to me, with those weird eyes and strange filter.

For some reason this made me laugh out loud, I spit all over the keyboard, i'm going along voting and then BOOM...."lamb" Hilarious but the photo is soooo flat.
