Cute but something about the editing of this picture makes it look flat and unreal. Almost like its a picture of a picture.

My eyes are draw to the wrinkles in the seals skin more than it's eyes. Crop tighter on the face, the expression is great!

This photo is cute, but maybe a little over sharpened? Very cute though.

Wow, the skin has come out so well! It looks so clear and 3D that it almost distracts attention from the rest of the picture.
