This is a nice composition..I like the vase and positioning of cat; the tones in this portrait are very soft, too.

Wonderful concept..beautifully lit! Desaturated look works really well here.

Very clever ... I like the black and white, and how she's sitting pretty like a piece of art!

very nice tones. I have 3 cats and I have no idea how I'd catch them in a pose like this :-)

In MY perosnal opinion this is by far the best shot in the challenge, and it's my only 10. it's the only one of these shots I'd want to hang on the wall iuf I weren't connected to the animal emotionally. The composition is really terrific, the sense of place is immacualte, the tones are lovely, the animal has a certain "presence" that is appealing. I hope it does well but fear it will be eclipsed by 'cute"
