"Mammal" - (Ken B)'s Choice

Mammal: Wild, Domestic, Human, Animal.... Let's see how creative you can be! Color, B&W, HDR...anything goes!

DO NOT SHOOT OR POST IMAGES UNTIL WEDNESDAY Jan. 22
This early announcement of the topic is to give a little think time, before the challenge begins. Photos must be taken and submitted between 00:00 UTC of the start date and 23:59 UTC of the end date.




The Rules

1. Photos must be captured with a Nikon and appear in the thread with EXIF info in order to be considered for the challenge. If the forum EXIF viewer does not show for any reason, listing the camera and capture date/time below the photo is acceptable. Listing exposure info, lens & focal length is encouraged so others can learn.

2. Any photo submitted for a weekly challenge must be taken during the dates specified in the challenge thread.

3. Only one photo entry per member for each week, unless otherwise noted.

4. All regularly active members of Nikonites are allowed to participate, including moderators and administrators.

Voting

During the submission & like periods, please click the Thanks/Like button to vote for your favorite images. You can vote for as many as you want! At the end of the week, you will have the opportunity to vote again for the top 3 photos for this challenge!

There will be no cash or prizes awarded for the Weekly Photo Challenges, unless specifically noted by the site administrator.

Any photo will be accepted for the challenge. Edited or straight out of the camera, it does not matter. You are left with complete freedom to do whatever genre of photography you wish to do, and your own interpretation of the challenge subject.

There is just under 8 hours remaining for submissions - and only 5 entries so far. Here I expected this challenge would be very popular. So many people have pets (dogs, cats, mice, gerbils, ferrets, hamsters, etc). Plus the fact that people are mammals - even a selfie would qualify. ;)

Come on, let's see additional submissions before the time runs out! :)

This was taken using my ancient (c. late 1960s to early 1970s) Vivitar ƒ/3.8 85-205mm zoom lens, which has a sort of distortion at larger aperture settings that I think tends to give a “dreamy” quality to the images. I don't know what the aperture setting was for this particular shot, but during the session, I varied it from ƒ/3.8 down no further than ƒ/5.6. I was approximately twenty feet away from the subject; centered on Allie's face, and zoomed out enough to take in all of her; so that the face would be sharp, and the rest of the image becoming softer as it went farther from her face.

edit: Oh no! My wife and I were out celebrating my birthday - which is when I took this shot - and we may not have gotten back in time for me to post this by the deadline! If I'm too late, could a mod please delete it? Thanks.

You can delete it, but no need to. It just will not be counted for judging but can be left for our enjoyment. OH, and Happy Birthday.
