This is the newborn serval cub (leptailurus serval) from the zoo of krefeld. The poor cub had a hard time because everytime it moved or lifted its head, several cameras were rattling. There were photographers staying all around the serval enclosure every now and then. It wasn't easy to get rid of the noise without killing much fur details..

This is a truly beautiful photo. First of all, this picture really stands out from the rest. The soft blur in the background brings out the serval's black spots and gorgeous blue eyes, giving the photo five stars in vision. Next, I think that this is a very beautiful shot, but I do see a lot of animal images like this. So this picture earns four stars in originality. Then, I absolutely love the technique used for this photo. From shooting the picture at the same level as the serval, to bringing out the kit's features, this image is awarded with five stars in technique. Lastly, the impact this photo gives is outstanding. It really is beautiful enough to make you want your own serval. Overall this is an amazing photo. I love it!
I think it's very adorable! When you see animals like this it's hard not to get a picture!!! You did a great job editing as well! The eyes are very gorgeous. I haven't seen anything cuter than this on Deviantart! Keep up the good work I would love to see more of this! This cub to be exact! Maybe next time you will get a better picture and not have to edit it as much! Also you might be able to get a picture of it doing something adorable like playing or drinking water or even just sleeping!!! Love, Warriorsfan132
