sorry, but this is just a bad image. if your subject had been doing something (like raising his arms), there might have been more interest. as is, it's like a bad snapshot. keep on working at it, though, and you'll get where you want to be--just don't quit!

I'm finding this quite hard to comment on! I like the backlighting and it def. meets the challenge.

I find the content interesting but partly because I have no idea of what it is and i just keep staring at it trying to figure it out! I'm assuming it is a cat and a vase?

What I would have like to have seen was a bit more detail on the 'cat'.

Nice selective desat... you can, unfortunatly see your reflection, but that is sometimes hard to mask. I like how you have filled the frame... Cropping in nice and tight.

Nice use of selective desaturation to answer the challenge. The tonality of the shot and black areas really give the subject nice contrast. One thing I found distracting was the reflection of the photographer in the sphere. Not sure if this was intentional? If not, perhaps layer masks in p-shop may have helped.

The cat shouldn't be there imo, it just distracts from the "fish", which I think should have been smaller (and not cropped) so it would have been easier to see the shape of it. Funny title.
