that is just adorable

Are those whiskers or "cuteness radiation?" Cute picture, the setting is neat - the moment after a storm where the sun starts burning holes in the cloud cover.

Also, big yes to the clam with googly eyes. Though I fear it may not be long for this world. :P

I was thinking whiskers, but yanno, whatever works. :D

The clam is thinking that exact same thing.

Daaaawww! <3
is He/she waiting for to be adopted?

Yes.

You want him?

Mhm =3

Ahahaa it looks like the Oyster Clam and the Otter was having a secret love affair xD <3

Cuteness man, cuteness

Caught red-pawed!

i love this style!

Coo!

This is very cute and rather Tiffany glass-esque. Pretty sky.

I can't stop looking at this. Such wonderful composition that's very...seperatist? Not conventionally easy to look at - but very INTERESTING to look at. I love it.

Plus the immediate emotional reaction's so contrasting. Inherently cute and simple, but the colors portray a sad depth similar to looking over an ocean's intimidating expanse as the skies darken.

Good stuff, good stuff.

Thanks so much for the comment!

I didn't do any planning for it - if I had, I probably would have ended up making the composition more conventional. I love experimenting for that reason... you never know what will come out. The only thing I might change is the highlight on the otter's head, to make it stand out more. Dunno.

I love the sea. It's so emotional.

The highlight on the head doesn't bother me...at all really. I think the wave's reflection of the sun does enough to draw a visual line to the otter that it's a perfect amount.

A mixture of cute, beautiful, and sad all in one picture. I adore the lighting in this. It has almost a stained-glass appearance to it. Very nicely done.

Thank you! Glad it worked out.

I can feel the sad, but to me it's more of a yearning. Like Luke Skywalker watching the sunset on Tattooine in Ep IV. /nerd
