I love the addition of the butterfly on the crocodile's nose.

    It's super cute. But it looks a bit like a secret romantic rendez-vous between a cat and a tiger...

    Why not keep the tiger cub? Why replace it with a house cat?

    I think it's whimsical. The looks on their faces when each realizes the truth about the other.

    On the rare occasion a hatchling owl can't be returned to the wild, they need a stunningly devoted partner, beyond someone who wants to keep a bird as a pet.

    That dog is riding a surf board. Look real close under the dog in the water and you can see the board.

    Right! The cartoons are nice but they don't capture the stark reality of the desert like the photograph.

    The finished one is really good, but personally I prefer the uncoloured version somehow, for this one. Maybe because the kid looks friendlier, I guess? Although I diasgree with other comments for now, he doesn't look evil or angry to me.

    I'm lol'ing that someone thinks the kid looks triumphant, not evil. My guess is that the artist is vegan and views fishing as wrong, so it makes sense to her that the kid is evil, which is exactly how she drew him. Look at the cartoon fish. It's obviously suffering.

    Seriously, why the blue eyes? Just for contrast? Changing it makes a statement, conscious or not, about ethnicity that isn't positive.
