Ok, with all of the "harsh" scenery shots in this challenge, all of the birds eating insects/wildlife.....THIS shot really stands right out! LOVE IT!!! I'm not a traditional voter in the sense that I go for the "highly manipulated" scenery shots so, this one really hit me well! I think we need more photos like this in DPC and hopefully, voters will eventually see the "value" in shots like this one.

Not sure how you're doing score wise. My bet is that your score is kind of suffering somewhat due to it not being a traditionally "loved" shot here, but to me, it's brilliant! Nicely done! 9

Okay, I don't get the title, but I do like the image. Good perspective.

Congrats on a perfectly average percentile and image. You can't even beat me with a blurry mess :)

Yummy colors and textures, all furry and wiskery. I'd like to snuggle right in there.

Your technique has yielded a strange Cubist metamorphosis of these animals - it's quite fascinating to look at. Started at a 9, bumping to 10.

Nice idea, I like the red in the umbrella ... maybe a more interesting backdrop would make it even better

Kitty! I like the texture of the hairs that stand out (whiskers?) but it really is a blurry mess and very hard to make out what's going on. Good effort though in a tough challenge

I'd crop the bottom off a little and tilt the photo clockwise to the right just a tiny bit too. Great colors and idea!

Just the whiskers to hint at what the subject might be. Pretty cool interpretation for the challenge.

very well done. I like the off-center composition and the sense of place, the dominance of the red element. I think it might look better with a crop off the bottom (say 15% or so), but that is a nitpick even if true.... 9
