Hiding in the Grass

Thanks for the comments.
This cat was found at the Rutger Gardens. I was shooting insects when it literally pounced out of the bushes. It scared the ___ out of me. I decided to get some photos of it hanging out in the bushes. It was an afterthought to put it in this challenge.

I love the expression on his face here, and it is a cute, original idea. The lighting is good, but unfortunately the shower curtain rod is a distraction.

OK maybe this was not the most unique use of negative space, but it did meet the challenge. Negative space, when used properly, defines the positive space. My use, in fact did that. If I would have chosen a different DOF, my image would not have had the same impact. My technical aspects were quite good, something that lately gets overlooked. This photo did not deserve 2's 3's and 4's.I think the voters on this one were a little harsh, but that's the DPC audience for you.....

this appears to have some filter effect- is it a legal one?

Strong feeling of desolation in this shot. I think the contrast is a touch too high, creating the noise in the sky. '7'

Great macro. Your DOF, colors and composition are great. You have excellent sharpness on the face and body. Great lighting also.
