This fine fellow had a harem of about 20 ladies, and at least half of them had small babies.

Good pose. The swishing tail helps keep this from being totally static.

Nice detail, color and composition. The only thing I would like to see is a little action of some kind.

Hi Sandy,

No complaints about the technical side of this image, but it does feel very static to me with little to draw or hold my interest (though the tail does help a bit...but for me doesn't carry the day).

Cheers...

Brad
