SilkenWinds chose:
- This is a fantastic closeup of such a gorgeous insect, and the color is breathtaking and vibrant! 
- I do have a fondness for pet rats, I used to have them. :3 But these two are adorable, and the picture's composition very clever! 
:bigthumb470680649:- Oh goodness who can resist cute, adorable otters? The pose is wonderful. Great job Dee!
- Jumping spider.
While I'm not a huge fan of spiders in general, I do love these little guys. They are spiders I am not afraid to handle, although it's not easy, they're fast! I love the crisp clarity and detail of this shot.
- This nearly perfect shot of the red-eyed tree frog is beautiful in detail and color. I also like the way one sticky foot is wrapped around the very top of the as of yet unopened bloom. 
- I have a fondness for milk snakes because my dad used to have them, along with rat snakes and king snakes. I liked this picture solely because of the nice focus and reflection on the eye. 
:bigthumb470395365:- Kittens are cute, yes, but I really liked the dark, rustic colors of this entire picture, and the the impish expression of the kitten as it seems to be playing with its tail. Lovely portrait of a lovely animal.
- Aquarium photography is NOT easy. This stunning shot of the fish and a little friend below it is really quite impressive. So clear and colorful. 
- The lions are sitting around as if in a majestic conference, the males looking all regal and important...while the female just yawns as if bored. Yeah, that's about right. LOL XD
- Realism artists are always amazing but this is just STUNNING. This is what I like to call Epic Realism. It's so incredibly detailed you'd swear it was a photograph. Truly great work AmBr0 !
