Lion

I really like this shot, even if it was taken at a horrible time of day. He happened to be in the posing mood.

Duck

This shot I hate. Not sure what it is about it, but it was taken in the shade and I used the oncamera flash from about 6' away. That's probably why. I don't know, the fringe around the duck just looks wrong to me.

Prarie Dog

Love this one! Just because he has that "I can't beleive you just did that" look on it's face. The color seems a little off though.

Like #3 for his look the best then like #1 it could be a nice wildlife poster.

Nice photos, but for me, your watermark is distracting--if it could be smaller and not have the darker exposure bar it would help. Best, Pam
