...how funny you found Lulu on DPC Louison! I just love the fact that someone actually recognized Lulu from seeing pictures of her on a completely different website! I hope she will not let this go to her furry little diva head! : }

This was one my few 10's of this challenge, I'm glad I ran across it again. Great shot, I absolutely love the concept, old kitchen stuff is so cool and has such great lines, almost begs to be photographed. I like the almost mono colors here, the green stands out without being to overdone. Background is good and lighting is excellent. Great job

Comment by Nald:
Edit: Okay after re-reading my original comment it was rude and I'd rather do this publicly than over PM'ing.

My comment was rude and uncalled for and I apologize for that. This shot is in no way a bad shot at all. The DOF is right on, it is a clean and beautifully done study in b/w (as is all of your work) and for a picture of a pet very intimate and beautiful. The only real flaw in this shot that I can see is some of the whiskers on the right hand side are a tad out of focus but I'm sure your model was doing his/her best to stay still. ;)

I hope you can accept my apology and good luck with this challenge. Oh, and for a cat picture it's the most kick ass one in this challenge. ;)

Original comment:
Not very original and not to be rude but this subject (cats/dogs) is, IMHO being totally over done as of late.

With that said, the shot is clean and meets the challenge. I like the b/w conversion. 4

I thought a lot of people might not understand this....this is for the holy day of Nov 1st right?

I gave it an 8...I really liked it....The lighting wasn't perfect...but I loved the originality and thought that was put into this.

I would love to see it in a sepia or duo/quod tone too....just see how it turns out.

Points for originality!

Perhaps there is some cultural reference of which I'm not aware, but the smiling skeleton seems out of place to the overall composition. In addition, lighting needs improvement to avoid shadows on the wall.

I really like this picture. Love the cross, flowers and candles. Reminds me of home. The cracked up skull really accentuates the title.
