Dust Bunnies.

I put this into a camera club competition some time ago and the title was "Mother and Cub". I thought the title would help the judge, but he totally missed the Cub in the crook of mother Cheetah's tail and gave me a lecture on keeping the sensor clean and free from "Dust Bunnies"

If he'd looked a little closer, he may have noticed that each of the dust bunnies had wings!

Thanks Colin your experience with the judge made me smile. I suspect he should’ve gone to Spxxxxxxx’s.

Now back on track, that is a wonderful image

Super image Colin - for some reason club judges want to see ‘clean’ cloned images rather than reality which can take the fun out of it
cheers

Its a really good image. Sadly I've suffered from this type of 'poor' judging in the past and it really put me off entering comps.

It makes me even more determined.

As an ex judge, my mantra was "engage eyes before engaging gob" and it still surprises me how many judges fail that test.
