Very nice photo, use of pattern repitition, great colors, exposure and lighting. The composition almost leads your eye to the ''waldo'' The light in the upper left is all I would change about this pic. if it could be eliminated somehow. Good luck in challenge. 9

Funny shot, reminds me a bit of a guy escaping from our state prison, though, ha! Not sure where the foot's coming from since it looks like the front of the car, although it looks like it might just be a shoe with a legging in it.

Meets the challenge: Very well, pets are definitely a cliche.

Composition: I do not care for the cat looking out to the left. I think the flowers would have worked if the cat was facing them, and they and the plant add some additional warmth and hominess to the shot. I take pics of my cats (3) a lot and know how difficult it is to get a well-posed shot.

Technical Quality: I would have preferred the light to be on the cat's face rather than the flowers and the cat's neck and forechest. Also, a better depth of field (7-8)would have enabled the cat's face to be in focus, or to focus in on the face and let the flowers etc be out of focus, since they are add-ons to the main subject, although then you would be dealing with exposure times!

Creativity: Good use of props to make the shot more interesting and warm.

Overall Conclusion: A shot that needed some technical and composition improvement. If you take it with the cat facing the window, send me a copy, bet it'll be gorgeous!

Meets the Challenge: Perfectly!

Composition: I cannot find fault with the composition. Good cropping. Nice neutral colors in the background and the non-subject items help bring out the red in the apples.

Technical Quality: Very Good. Colors perfect, focus very good. I would also (like others below) liked to have seen the "meat" of the bitten apple with more light on it. Maybe a little fill flash with a make-shift bounce would have helped lighten it up or maybe could have been lightened up a little more in a levels adjustment. Focus very good, no post-processing issues noticed.

Creativity: Good, although not what I would consider extremely creative.

Overall Conclusion: Beautiful photograph, well shot and very appealing with lots of warmth expressed.

Hope this helps, if you have questions, feel free to email me.

This whole image seems a bit out of focus, maybe purposefully.
