You are quite right Mark, this contest doesn't specify that the family has to be human. Good for you, because I really like this family of animals. It looks like you have pictured a birthday party, and that they are all lined up for a photo to be taken. LOL I especially like the color pallet you have used and the way the trees on each side are framing the scene.
As always you have paid such a good attention to details and used high lights in such an excellent way.
The composition is very strong with an excellent balance, and the format and framing is very good. I could see by your notes you don't wish a good luck greeting, but I will do it anyway, because I think this is a truly great looking and well done drawing.

I get that Christmas feeling looking at this drawing. Just because of the hats and decorations above the animals. Beautiful drawing, love the details you put in every animal! Thank you for sharing!

Wonderful drawing of this family gathering to celebrate a birthday.
Most likely it is a first year of one of the little one.
Great details that tell the story well and wonderful presentation overall!

Mark this is a fine gathering of your furry friends. Looks like a sit down celebration, a birthday party. Various colors bright, light up the gathering. Very nicely presented. Ray

This is so cute, I love it! All of their little faces posing for their photo. The colors are very pleasant to view. Thank you for sharing. Have you every done illustrations for books? That would be awesome.

Hi Mark, I think of this as a family of friends so it definitely fits the contest! You seem to get left on the sidelines when it comes to contests. I know the feeling when it comes to "Photograph of the month".
Viewers want to see "traditional photography , not mixed media which is what I do. I wish Tom had left the Mixed Media category in. I like what you did here. You definitely left me smiling! I like the forest setting and the way the moonlight seems to act as a spotlight on the group. I'm picturing one of these critters taking a photograph of the group. I enjoyed your wildlife, family celebration. You may not want anyone to wish you luck but I'm sending it to you anyway! I love imaginative images! :o) Nancy

The amount of dots in the background really gives this a nice texture. Love the story behind it as well. Very colorful and vibrant. Thanks for sharing.

You're absolutely right. A family is a familyâ€"human or not! You've captured a wonderful moment of celebration! The framing is well thought out, and the use of light and shadows adds both depth and character. The colours are vibrant, and the composition ties everything together seamlessly. Excellent effort! All the best. Sorry, I've run out of sixes.

A good looking image posted here into the competition! You do make a valid and appropriate point about the nature of the family! Your fine and full composition grants us an enjoyable view of those nice, festive animals. Nicely drawn!
