    Nice contrast of dark and gold tones. Just the right amount of detail in the shadowed side of the animal.

    Great backlighting effect here Mork, and just love the golden colours throughout the BG.

    Excellent golden colors on this one. I also like the small amount of detail and rim light.

    The golden lighting, with just the right amount of detail suit nicely here Morkel. Not too keen on the treed BG for mine but understand it had to stay in.

    The 'Golden light' gives this a nice feel Morkel.

    Good use of rim light to make this a pleasing silhouette Morkel. I like the amount of detail in the animal and the gold-drenched background.
