I didn't vote on it but I would have given it a 6. 5 for it's technicals and 1 for the animal itself. The blur is where you lose me.

Looks like a heavily cropped image with all of the noise...

It's very well-composed, but I can't find anything in sharp focus.

The tight framing and composition is good. The snarl and bared teeth are dynamic too which help but the thing you will be losing points on in voting is the blur. If you had those teeth sharp you would have easliy been a couple points higher in voting.

Motion blur... Try a higher ISO if your shooting in low lighting, which it looks like you are.

This would be really great if it were in better focus.

I am looking for your focal point...to me this lacks in the sharpness of focus...but excellent processing as your colors are quite vibrant and well done

Pretty intense. I like how you filled the frame. The lighting seems a little off???
