Wow... thanks for the really wonderful comments! :-) #9949288

Bunny Snow January 27, 2012

Beautiful backlighting, Laurie. And your hint of fill light is absolutely perfect to reduce the lighting ratio of the shadows. Because of your lighting achievement, this image is superb.

His fur still has detail in most of the highlights and all of the shadows, making this a well done creation and well edited in photoshop.

I'd love to see this again in the winner's circle. Until then, congratulations on your well deserved POTD!!! #9951717

The rock is an excellent counter balance for the meerkat. The rim light creates a fantastic image.

Congratulations Laurie on your Finalist for this outstanding image. #10009638
