| I keep wondering how many times you had to pop that cat in the nose to get that pissed of look. I cracked my camera over my cats head to recreate this shot and he made me bleed a few hours later for it, while I wasn't looking. |

| Keep looking for cats that look like my Max - we had to put him to sleep on July 6.... I mourn over animals as much as people. |

I don't know about the rest of you but I find the outtake was better, sure it was super harsh and the winning shot was soft and friendly and yet alert. But I guess the red ribbon speaks for itself!!!!
Great job!

Hey Yanko,
One thing i have learned on this site is that prediction is NO GOOD! I never predicted my "original sin" shot to win. I thought it was boring and it only took me 45min to take, whereas my "Poison" shot took me 5 hours and was, in my humble opinion, "ground breaking" cause there hadn't been a shot done like that before...i think. Original Sin got 2nd and Poison got 16th. Bleh. Not that im complaining about my 2place but still.
Anyways, i'm actully looking at your pic to congratulate you on your ribbon and not to give you advice. Good work. Great shot.
Chris
ps: sorry for not submitting anything in the last week but this week i got one challenge submission done so don't worry ;) |

| 8 - Really like this, especially the symmetry and colors, but the overall 'feel' to it seems a little over processed to me (especially around the eyes), but might just be a matter of personal taste. Just like to have seen more detail and texture, in the eyes, fur, etc - looks slightly unnatural. A fraction wider likely have worked well too, but fairly minor, works well as is. As for the age... with clarity in the eyes like that, one lucky cat. Up to 8 from 7. |

Those deep amber yellow eyes really pop off the screen and hypnotize you with that powerful stare. The square crop was an excellent choice for this close-up head shot of this cat. It keeps the attention tightly focused on your main subject and keeps our eyes coming back to that penatrating stare. 10 |

| Possibly the strongest and most powerful composition in this challenge. The expert capture pronounces an elegant feline study. The colors of this beauty lend themselves to form such a pleasing visual treat and then te texture but most important the alert eyes with the v wedge angle. Hey, you have my 10 and my best wishes! |
