 My photographic response to a forum Posthumous Ribbon Forumin which a discussion of Pandora's Box and Schrödinger's Cat ensued in response to last week's Brown Ribbon challenge.
Here's wikipedia's page on this famous theoretical cat: Radioactive German Cat in a Box
Notice: no animal fats were consumed or animals injured in the obtaining this rare piece of "radioactive animal experimental photographic evidence" of Schrödinger's genius.
The equations are genuinely Schrödinger's math equations, with the exception of a little DPC artistic/editorial license for the fun of it.

I don't expect this photo to be A)Understood; B)Scored very high. I entered it as a photographic response to an amusing DPC forum discussion. Umlauts are optional in any responses or comments below :)

Hey, I loved that guy on Silver Spoons, I didn't know he had a radioactive cat! I like the PP used and the glow of the cat, interesting use of tilt. So is this cat dead and alive at the time of the photo or did you already open the box?

This is just wierd!!! First, I gotta wonder about the basic editing part of this... Its a little hot in the corner with the cat, doesnt really "glow"like I think you were going for. The strong thing about this photo: Makes me really wanna know whats going on!

Oh! This.... oh. This is so.... amazingly wonderful... and..... oh my goodness. It's beyond me to say if the math is right, but if it is, you totally need to market this. Some form of poster, or book cover, or.... yeah. Man, I am so IMPRESSED with this! (I'd prefer, in advanced, for the white lines at the top left, and less so but maybe also the bottom left, to be cloned out, but that really doesn't detract for me, just a nit-pick.)

Seems a bit over processed to me, sorry

well, I am a physicist hence I MUST write a comment on this photo :). from photographical point of view his value is between 6 and 7, I add another point for the idea. 8 and thanks for submitting an original idea and something that remember me the quantum mechanics :)

And correctly, I can't tell if it's dead or alive, lol. Very creepy lighting and processing.

Would make for a good album cover for some german electropunkpop band of that name. The symbols are a bit lame, though. Just curious: how could you know it was in that box?
