You can't see it right now but I'm bowing to the master of wildlife. I gave this a 7. Excellent job.

Too cute!!! What a great catch and a great job of photographing it! He almost looks like "whaddya want - I'm sleepin' here!". Way to give personality to a critter - you do that so well. Congrats on the new personal best and in a Free Study, no less!

Congratulations noraneko! Would have been a 9 or 10 from me if I'd have gotten to it (sorry!). Beautiful capture with personality! (btw, I think he likes you ;-)

What a sensational bird photo - you know we see SO MANY on here and often they're a complete yawn, but this one ROCKS! What a magic capture - and beautifully presented. You should be very pleased.
