I have to say I love animal shots and this was a great one. Congrats on the top 20. Pair of Predators was prefect for the even category in my opinion. We obviously have an even number of subjects, they fill the field excellently. The colors are nice and warm, making the animals look so peaceful. I like how you cropped the image nothing too tight or too open. The only thing I would have not done is the border, but that's just me and it didn't take away from the score I gave you (10).

Oh Doug, this one was yours ???? Ohmygoodness!! I thought for SURE this was the one that was going to win blue!! This is one of my favorite of all time animal pictures. This is going straight to my favorites folder. It stood out in this challenge. I thought it was the best.

nicely done (I am not lion about that), only thing I did not like was the tall fence as backdrop, course NOTHING you could do about that - except maybe blur it out a bit

Very nice capture, great exposure and composition on this. Looks like they are both about to nod off to their twenty hours of daily sleep.
