I just love this pic, C-Cat! The faces are just wonderful. You can read a story in each child's expression. The clothing and the colors and the setting are all just right. There's just so much cheer in this picture, it makes me smile just to look at it.

Thank you so much, C-Cat!

Glad I could be of service, B-Hop. ^^


I'd be interested to "hear" your take on the kids' expressions.

Usually I don't think about that when doing the pic. Heh.

The ball is owned by the badger, and he was the one who recognized B-Hop. He was the first to run out to him and ask for an autograph. The squirrel recognizes B-Hop as well, but is too shy to speak up, and maybe even a little worried that his friend will upset B-Hop with his enthusiasm. The cheetah doesn't recognize Hopper, but she's clever and knows her friend loves basketball and that this must be an FBA star. She's really pleased, more because she enjoys seeing her friend so excited than she is about meeting a sports star. The ferret doesn't follow sports at all and doesn't know who B-Hop is, but he knows he's really famous, so he wants to be close to him.

The raccoon isn't part of the badger's group and just saw the commotion. He recognizes B-Hop, but he's a bully and doesn't like the other kids getting excited, so he's going to ask Hopper rude questions like why did it take him seven games to beat the sixth-seeded Clefs in the Western Semi-Finals, and why did he lose his last game by 29 points.

That's why Hopper is keeping his head turned to the nice kids.

Dayem! o_O

That's good behavioral observation thar.
I couldn't have made that story up. I salute you!
*does so*

Actually, I should point out the squirrel is supposed to be taking a picture. Otherwise, see my below comment. :D

Above comment, I mean. The first one. Yeesh. >.o

Yesh, it be dat verra thing.
Glad j00 noticed. =^_^=

Very nice pic! Great background and great image.

So, another person at work had a look at my computer wallpaper-- which is this picture-- and he said he found the picture cute but creepy. Apparently, he was really freaked out by the badger kid wearing plaid.
