Ah! I just returned today from SF. I wish I had gone one week earlier. It was overcast and rainy the whole time! Great angle and perspective in addition to everything else there is to like about this shot. I hope it does well.

Originally posted by samtrundle: Okay the setup here is ridiculous, I scored you a 7 during the challenge, but clearly without stopping to think about how challenging the creation of this photo must have been. If I had thought it through you would have got a 9 or a 10 from me. I would apologise, but you've got a blue ribbon for your troubles, so I don't think you are feeling particularly horrible about it. Congratulations on a brilliant effort.

Congratulations, anireno! My sentiments perfectly mirror what samtrundle already said. On more consideration, I agree that this was quite an impressive and creative setup. Good luck!

Needs a deeper DOF. Loss of focus on your seven berries.

Sharp, focused, well exposed. Excellent color saturation Artistically a well framed shot. I prefer the black backdrop against which you shot your subject. Fits the challenge theme nicely.

Very mice to meet you

Creative idea. Your photograph has adequate sharpness, although it probably could have been sharpened a "whisker" more. There is quite a bit of noise on the cat's fur which may have been a technical limitation of your digital camera so I won't hold that against ya. Overall the cat does not appear interested in her visitors in the slightest, but they are quite finicky and don't follow directions very well haha. Overall a good effort.

Returning for further comments.....
Very clever and funny! I think you have a remarkably creative mind. Bonus points for creativity.

Concerning the technical merits of this shot. The subjects look somewhat grainy and soft on focus. There is almost a deliberate high key look due to the overexposure. I think artistically it fits given this particular composition.

Bumping up.

cute.

Edit: More comments...This is quite imaginative. I like the depth of focus you selected for this shot. Clear, detailed, and exposed nicely. The composition works well. I would imagine, not having actually tried this myself, that to get the clover leaflets arranged with some semblance of realism is a challenge in of itself. Bonus points for creativity and solid execution. Bumping up to 7.
