Those are some seriously messed up cats. Do you live near Roswell?

Judy is right. I was trying to remember why this looks so familiar. Then I read her comment and I immediately knew it gave that same old-movie feel. The contrast made by the light is incredible.

Great shot.

You can tell from the shot that it is a great print. And it was a great photo to begin with.

In an effort to return the favor :)

As a non-New Zealander, I have no idea what a singlet is. Of course it could well be something all people everywhere know, and I'm just a peasant. Either way, this is an interesting image.

I agree with Sherryl. This is so well done. The layout, the softness of the leaves still contrasting with the bokeh background, the one splash of color telling the tale.

I like it.

October Day 2

It's done very well. Kitty doesn't look too happy though.

I've done a few like this, where I didn't want the background and blacked it out. My only suggestion would be to finish with a soft edged brush with the burn tool around the very edge of the subject (in this case, kitty) and maybe use a small blur brush as well on the outline - to smooth out the edges whee the cats body meets the darkness. I'm not great at it yet, but I'm getting better. The pro's on this site may have a better way, but I don't know it yet.
This is a very good picture though - take my comments with a grain of salt.

Great shot. It keeps pulling you in. I watch it and wait for the fog to clear, just a little, so I can see what that is in the background.

day 3. slice of life. hair hand glasses & shoe

So let me just say that I've come to know your firetrail very well.
This one is a bit closer than the usual, no kangaroos or puppies (unless this is a Hush Puppy - do you have that brand of shoe in Australia?)

But I gotta say, no fair posting two, three, four or more pics a day - all with great colors and interesting angles. I barely squeeze in one before midnight , then end up rambling on about nothing...

Kinda like this post...

I really like this shot though. Can't tell you why. I think it's the colors and the texture.
