 Cat in motion. I crop out Red Bull. I put some levels on it to up the contrast. I put a photo filter on it to make it less warm. I put selective color on it to blacken the black and screw with the colors some more. And the the blur secret weapon: I sharpen it with USM!

Cats and dogs?! Well, here's why I can never fit in well with others...the first thing I saw was a furry monkey face! *sigh*

Pleasing image. I do see the essence of cat, a dog, an ape of some kind, and maybe even a suggestion of an otter.

I like skewsme's better...though this would make a nicer area rug...

Maybe beat him with a baseball bat then ;-)

I love this fantastic mess you've made of our pets - and especially how the rug is almost indistinguishable from the fur. Beautiful!

Very cool textures, love the brown tones too! The whiskers slightly in focus are the icing.

Wow, this is fantastic! Love the broad impressionism. I really love the whiskers.

Congrats on a perfectly average percentile and image. You can't even beat me with a blurry mess :)

Yummy colors and textures, all furry and wiskery. I'd like to snuggle right in there.

Your technique has yielded a strange Cubist metamorphosis of these animals - it's quite fascinating to look at. Started at a 9, bumping to 10.

Kitty! I like the texture of the hairs that stand out (whiskers?) but it really is a blurry mess and very hard to make out what's going on. Good effort though in a tough challenge

Just the whiskers to hint at what the subject might be. Pretty cool interpretation for the challenge.

Really like this, can't tell where the cat ends and the dog begins, but you know they're there!

Very nice! Shamanistic. Great colors and overlap of subjects. Could have been called Peyote. Makes me feel like finding a bear rug and a sweat lodge. Perfect crop and presentation. Abstractly Perfect. (10)

I like this. The way you captured the prominent features allows one to know exactly what the picture is of, even if you can't see the actual animal in its entirety. 9.
