Mood Lighting for an Octopus

5 - Sure is different. Mainly like to have seen a more refined crop at the top and the octopus better placed within the frame, so not 'chopped'.

7 - This cat looks familiar. Good 'character portrait', like to have seen it larger though.

I hope the cat doesn't see this

9 - Not much to suggest here, this is just about perfect. Very nice. Maybe just a little more 'pop', somehow, maybe via lighting, who knows, as well as a more refined crop at the bottom to eliminate the 'semi circles' on the back legs of the chair, but minor. Hmm, seems to be an issue here and there, but mainly to the left of the bow - possibly pp, not sure.

6 - Nice capture and composition, although tighter on the left, gaining the three background colors and 'using them' more, and enabling the 'star' to dominate the frame more (bigger), make this even better in my opinion.

8 - Very nice portrait. The ear chopped.. undecided.. obviously works as is, but.. maybe if it were there this might be even better, your call anyway, obviously. Very nice capture, including character.

8 - Good Lord.. I thought this was a statue/figurine. Good portrait and very good background/elements. Nice colors. Good focus/focal areas. Perhaps the main thing is an odd 'finish' to the image, which could be post processing.. that and the tip of the tail, but fairly minor.

5 - Quite 'human like' capture/portrait, but the tongue dominates a bit too much in my opinion.

2 - Some color variations going on in this image. The capture.. not working for this Challenge in my opinion. Don't mind the odd composition, but the capture and those odd blue/flash eyes..

7 - Nice portrait of Mr Majestic. Toning works well, A fraction more 'pop' around Mr Majestic's face and/or focal area a little wider, to include a little more face, eyes especially, make this even better in my opinion. A frame may have really set this off and given it more of an edge, not sure.

3 - A little snapshottish in my opinion - but may be your intent. Variation in flash/lighting and background, maybe also losing the 'coat' for this portrait, may have made this even better.
