    One benefit of the wet/green season Ken is the air clarity, very evident here, with good exposure plus nice eye contact on this pregnant female?
    Would like a tad more lower room if you have it?

    Ken - Good look back pose and I like the environment. I agree with Marc on it being tight below. IMHO the scratching behavior detracts rather than adds to the photo by pulling our eyes to the rump.

    Thans for your comments, no more room at the bottom.

    Ken,

    The lack of room at the bottom is problematic at best and detracts from the effectiveness of this image. I like the look on the face, the expression and attentiveness towards you but the odd placement of the rear foot draws my eye from that too much.

    Though I love seeing images of this species and I love the "air clarity" as mentioned, I find myself agreeing with Robert here...
