| Dan Costello | I like your idea Mark but I feel the image lacks sharpness. Since I do a a lot of photojournalism I am not a stickler for sharpness but I do feel the eye or eyes need sharpness. |
| Alastair Cochrane | I like the tight crop but feel that the eyes should be toned down a bit -- they come across too strong against the more subtle colours. |

| Gary Davi | Hum… I like the animal shot, but there is too much orange in my opinion, and the eye makes it look evil. But what do I know - beauty is in the eye of the beholder. |

| Sukumar | Just wondering if the yellowish-orange colouron its cheek, neck and rump due to incandescent lighting. |
