 Inspired by current events going on with Tiger Woods. First thought was to do an outdoor scene at a golf course in the rough but changed my mind since I felt it might come off too similar to what AlexSaberi had done back in the pet challenge. So I decided on the couch which made compositing a lot easier since everything could be photographed under the same light, which is ultimately what I had to do since the cat wouldn't sit still with the props in the shot.

In total there are 4 photos used. There's the main photo with the cat and the chair. There's one of just the cat's mouth open and the other two are of the feather and bra.

Setup:

The main light is a speedlight in a small softbox placed above the couch and to the left of the subject. I used a white reflector for fill, which was placed in front and below the subject.

PP work:

In addition to the compositing, I cleaned up the images a little. For example, I removed some stray whiskers and white hairs from the fur and also made it look softer. The eyes were made to look a bit wild and over the top.

For the credits (most of them) I used cat breed names. Amazing how many there are. I would have included moving ratings and such but didn't want to run the risk of getting DQed for creating graphics that weren't apart of a photograph taken during the submission period.

Just awesome job with putting all those details together and the fun word play. There's not too much or too litte. So balanced. I specifically like the two feathers ;) This is indeed pro quality.
