Great shot, lisa! It leaves me looking for more, trying to find the edge of the picture somewhere off the page...

Break Free

"Break Free" is a nice entry into the Duotones challenge, good use of the two tones.

I was reading your comments about how you felt the image didn't do the reality justice. I really think this is one of the hardest things to learn (and trust me I am far from mastering it), being able to capture what you see through the eye of the camera.

The image itself is interesting. I think you had an excellent idea of trying to capture the light between the windows and allowing the focus to remain on the kitty. I like the patterns of the curtains and how you can see some light coming though them not just the window. I personally like the composition, I am sure there are people who would like a tighter crop but I think that would take away from the idea of being trapped and wanting to break free. I would also be curious to see the image in a warmer set of colors like a warm sepia.

I know it couldn't have been easy jumping into a challenge with over 600 images. I think voters really do get burned out after so many images. But we can only learn if we enter right?

Good work and best of luck in the future.

Gurlwithacoolpen! I have this same pen. Isn't it cool? The whole fiber optic thing has always been amazing to me. Nice stab at a macro. I think a little sharper and you'd a nailed it. I haven't really shot any macros, but they sure look fun. Cheers, -jeremy
