I always love photographer self portraits. Nicely composed. And I am with you--I prefer to be behind the camera. My face could break the lens!

Love their stripes! They should have tiger in their name somewhere! LOL! Beautifully done!

The color seems to be a bit off, into the pink realm. The critter is adorable, but seems just a tad out of focus

very very very impressive details and sharpness. with wish the dof was just a bit more to show more "fur". in any case, this is an excellent shot.

Comment by Teafran:
Good detail and excellant bokeh make this an effective image. The subject is richly detailed and although the feet are out of focus, it still is a very detailed and effective image. While technically competant, the artistic impact isn't quite as effective being a fairly common close up view of a recently hatched chick. Still, a good entry into the challenge meeting the challenge criteria.
