Challenge: Good News/Bad News (Expert Editing)

 I wish I would have thought of a better way to write out a fairly long title.

What I wanted to title it was:
The GOOD news is wishes do come true! The BAD news is, I should have been more specific about wishing for a huge bowl of money.

I guess it was too much of a stretch to ask everyone to put together!

In terms of the "ghosting" and the top of the bowl that someone mentioned:

The bowl was shot just as it was shown here. I did very little to the actual bowl. I did not want to remove the reflection or "ghosts" as they were called, because I thought it would look odd to have no perspective of the shape. I never edit out context clues to how things look in real life. The bowl was shot just like the pic!

Very creative and well done. Fine pose and expression. The cat is a great touch. The colors make a modest harmony.

Samantha, I'm one of your biggest fans. But I'm not sure I get this image at all. I'm not only not understanding the good/bad news title (which seems to be based on "a penny for your thoughts"), I'm also seeing what appear to be several blatant editing mistakes: (ghosts on the side of the bowl, one of which the kitty is leaning on, but another one outside of that), the lip area doesn't meet either on the left or the right.... All of these things are so outside your usually extraordinary attention to detail, it makes me wonder if you uploaded the wrong version.
