Interesting and strong image especially with the title. Somewhat disturbing and dark but I like the overall impact it's got, the strong vertical light in the background really gives this tension and adds to the mood.

This is a very interesting photo. I will admit I looked at it for about 10 mins trying to figure out up from down. :) Nice work.

Great finish, pal! Your time-expended is the same as mine, but your finish position is substantially higher :-)

Congratulations on the HM, Chris - thought this would end up near the top. I didn't mind the soft focus on the butt since the head is sharp but I can see where it would have improved the shot slightly, but the idea (as everyone has said) did not suffer for the softness. They say people pick pets that look like them - or is it the pets that pick their people :)

Originally posted by gyaban: I think I would have adjusted the DoF a bit to get the pet entirely in focus, but you perhaps ran out of time for that, or you simply prefer it like that.

Nah, I simply didn't want to go downstairs again and reshoot. I took one capture and ran with it. Personally I think there should be more focus on the ass also. The only reason I entered was the lack of entries.
