You and "Bulb Burner" must have collaberated! :-) How could two such similar and fantastically beautiful images have ended up in one challenge? It makes it so hard on those of us who pride themselves in being able to discern differentiating and distinctive details between comparables in rating images. I hate to give multiple 10s because I want to pick out the very best one each time and give it the top score. It's hard to comprehend that there are multiple images EACH deserving of a 10 or even higher.

As a photographer who likes the unusual and as a cat lover, this shot is excellent on both counts. Well done

Love it, sharp yet smooth and perfectly fits the challenge :) I have this down for a ribbon and would love to know how you created this effect.
On the web I think you have the right crop to show the detail in the smoke, as a print I'd like to see a little more space on the sides and top

wild image...was the cat a willing participant? if you aren't scoring well, it is probably because the reflection isn't in a 'traditional' mirror.
