Hi Bruce and welcome. I see you didn't do as well as you may have hoped but do not fear! There is a definate learning curve here that is at times not pleasant and on the positive side, you got a reasonable number of comments for your first time. The difficulty with a shot like this is the subject. If you are not a cat lover, you will likely score this shot very low. That aside, I can see your perspoective on this shot though not many will take as much time as I am. On a shot like this,you want to draw out greater detail by playing with contrast and sharpness. It would be interesting to see this in color as that would give you another element to help enhance this shot. It is good that that you chose a quirky image like this and I'd suggest you use your "eye" for more shots along this flavor. Hope this helps and good luck in future challenges.

Compared to other photos in the challanege, the perspective here doesn't have a dramatic effect for me. I really like the yawn though, and the black and white treatment.

I can't see the perspective because it's eclipsed by this cat

That is hilarious. Love the whiskers. Not sure if it's the best example for perspective, but at least it adds some humor to my cday. THANKS!
