Nicely done Mark,

The dark framing emphasises the subject nicely. Good catchlight as well.
Are the dark dots in front of the chest fur mud? I can see it has dirty fingers so I guess that is the case.

Cheers

Austin

For me this is a stronger image than the previous red you posted Mark. You been togging in a suit and tie again?
Like it (and would like it more with a little more foreground on the bottom if you have it).

Cheers,
Chris

Inquisitive little fellow Mark, nice alert pose too. Would prefer to see the green extend across the the lhs rather than the darker area, but hey. :wink:

Nicely done, the darker area frames him well and its a good clean composition.
