I love this picture! You can imagine how shocked I was to see this, as I had actually thought of doing the same thing!! My difference would have been a mouse instead of a rat. However, my cats are no where near as well behaved as yours. My photo would have been similar to an action shot in a war zone -- protect the mouse, hold the camera, keep the cat in frame, etc.
Glad this worked out so well for you! Congratulations on the ribbon! It is well deserved. |

OMG. . .I was on vacation and missed seeing this one! WOW! That's about the cutest thing I've ever seen. ..and thanks for the reassurance that no animals were hurt during your award winning photo project :)
Way to go being selective and waiting until you had the winner. Maybe every challenge you enter will be a ribbon winner :)
MEGA CONGRATULATIONS!!!! This could not be improved on in any way! I'm surprised anyone gave it lower than a 10 :)

Thanks everyone for all of the great comments!
Post processing:
Crop, color adjustment, noise reduction, sharpen, contrast.
I never thought this would do so well, I almost didn’t enter it.
Wow, my first contest here and I get a ribbon?!?! Hooray!!!!
Here’s hoping it’s not all down hill from here on out...
This was hard and frustrating!!!. And no, no animals were hurt making this, although the dog felt a neglected. hehe.
I was a little nervous at first. I didn’t know how the cats would react to a rat in the house. No worries, they could care less about it. I guess that explains the mice problem ;) Treats, that’s a whole different story. The cat I originally wanted in this, felt sleeping was in order. Plan B. Recast. This was one of the last photos, by then the cat was full of treats and joined the other for nap time. Wow, that rat’s fast!
Oh, btw, this cat always looks hungry. This is quite creepy when you wake up in the morning and you see him staring at you like that from the edge of the bed.
Thanks to my sister for supplying the rat and for her support. She told me to enter it. I’m glad I listened.
Thanks for the comparison to one of the great photographers here. I wish I was that good!
That’s the best compliment I could receive.

This is probably going to get the real blue ribbon because it is simply a perfect take on the challenge, but just in case it doesn't, I'll give it a Posthumous Blue Ribbon. And yes, I know what I'm risking here. After all this could be  scalvert. And that title is trying too hard. And I have two other brilliant photos to give this ribbon to.
But the tension here is incredible. The hunger in that cat's eyes...
