Very cute coincidence, I'm not sure if I like the crop so much. I think the third one takes away from the hug.

Would prefer the top left critter cropped out of this shot. Seem to recognise the animals from the Lines challenge ! ;0) 7

Hahahaha thats cute

Simply because they have a relationship in a sense, does not make them friends. As a matter of fact, friendship is a personal, namely mutually humanistic expression. Actually friendship, is philologically rooted in love. But do not worry too much, I still voted on the photo itself.

I think you should have cropped closer to focus on just the pair

Cute. Did this really look better in black and white? Nice composition.

Too cute!

I might of considered cropping a bit - making the hugging animals the main focus.

Very nice shot, though I would have liked to see the left area cropped to get rid of the third animal. B&W works just fine here.

if you cropped in closer to the two hugging, this would be much stronger

fantastic shot! not sure why you didn't crop that top left critter out though.
i just love that little paw on the back, great submission!

I might have cropped an inch off the top so you just have the two animals on the right with negative space on the left. Just an opinion...
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/16/2005 07:05:48 PM
great capture. definetly should have cropped the 3rd one out.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

nicely done b&w only suggestion would be to crop oout the animal in the upper left corner it is distracting and doesn't add to the image.

centered its a 9
 03/16/2005 04:54:56 PM
Are you sure they're hugging???? lol. Seriously: Great shot: 8
 03/16/2005 01:24:52 PM
What a great catch! While I love all the textures in this photo, I think the beasties blend in a bit too much. I don't imagine their isolation would be any easier in colour. I'm also distracted by Mr.Upper-Lefthand Corner, because he leads the eye off the image... maybe a tighter crop?

Great composition and texture!!!

This shot would have been fabulous with a much tighter crop...

needs tighter crop & preferrably lower angle, but nice catch.

cute

The pair in the corner are a great capture. Unfortunately, having the one remain in the upper lefthand corner, and especially having it be the darkest element in the photo, draws my eye up there and then leaves it resting on the blank space inbetween. I would try cropping that out and just leave the hugging two.
