LOL! One of the more entertaining and enjoyable cards in the challenge. Definitely worthy of print!

Ohmygoodness! This is brilliant! What a fabulous photo!

And I agree with you 100% on the post-processing thing. It is perfect exactly like it is. And I am so glad to see that dpc is doing so much better about rewarding beautifully processed photos instead of going for the ones that are saturated and processed to the point of ugly (in my opinion anyway).

CONGRATULATIONS! This is an amazing challenge to score 14th place in!

Appreciated the comment and suggestion. I opted not to Post-process this more as I wanted it to truly look like it really was. A Lion's eye, when closed is a light color lid showing and burned it in a bit, as it really looks weird, almost makes them look like they are blind.

To all that left so many great compliments, thanks!
Was a nice change of pace to score well.

Another outstanding entry and a favorite - should be a top ten contender. The font mix is perfect and very well placed.
