Wonderful light, detail and the portrait composition with that face is priceless. Two thumbs up on the 'Cute Factor' you managed.
I love the light on this little guys face and the tilt of his head. My eye is drawn a little to the rock in the left lower corner, but not a big deal. Very nice portrait.
Thanks Mike & Sharron
They are really a treat to watch & enjoy. Very small space available to shoot , without distractions, Did the Best I could.

I love the angle of the light and nice catchlights. Although this might be true to life, it feels to me like the image would benefit from some rotation so he is not leaning so far to our left. In processing I would try to darken the two out of focus stems between the rock and his face. The rock is not a big deal for me.
Hello Lon , have a repost with toned down areas suggested, Your thoughts
Bill
Blew the hop off the cute meter with this one. Glad you toned down the rock. Improves the image IMO.
Bill,
This type of pose is always appealing to me, the fact that it is an incredibly beautiful and cute animal makes it special

I thnk the toning down of the highlights may be a little overdone?
These kits have an incredible cute factor, love the cocked head & upward gaze Bill.
Great light, color, and details with the dark BG making this kit a real 'standout'
SO cute!!!!!
Grt, Ingrid.
