I like the way you used the light in this, it looks especially good with the pattern of the cats coat.

The background should be solid in my opinion. Nice light on the cat's face. She looks like she's ready to jump. What an expression on her face. I would have cropped the light background out, personally.

Gorgeous black background which contrasts very nicely with the eggs. I find the way the egg is being held unnatural. I would like to see the two hands splitting the egg, or one hand like the chefs do. Still a neat shot. Good luck. Jacko. 7

Composition - As much as I loved Legos as a kid, I love them now that I have kids. I'm not terribly fond of this shot. I don't like the way this looks photoshopped, even if it isn't. Shooting on mirrors has a tendency to make the background look far away, which is true in this case. They're square all right so it does meet the challenge. I think the colors are great. I wish the reds were more in the forefront though to demonstrate all the colors in the light a little. The crop is in that middle area where I think it should be either a little tighter, or a little further back. Preferably a little further back because I think you could hide the fact that its not perfectly focused a little better.

Photography - The focus issue is huge. I don't get why you needed an 8 second exposure either. I don't know what it adds to this shot. I think the focus issue might stem from this. This is the major problem with this photo above and beyond everything in my opinion.

Processing - Good work with the colors, if you did indeed enhance them. I don't know if the sharpen filter in PS could help this or not, but it would be worth a try.

Overall - I didn't vote on about half the shots the first time around, and this was one of those. I think it would've been more successful if it were crisp. I still don't understand the long exposure time for this shot. It may be something that I might want to know about, so feel free to PM me if there is a good explanation. :) I definitely don't know everything about photography!! Good Luck in future challenges - Bob

THe hand shadows are too overpowering. Light source needs to be moved. - Inspzil

Very intriguing photograph. I like the way you've captured the white of the cat's paws, the white chest, the white hair in the ear, through your lighting technique. The shadow on the cloth is interesting. Very sharp photo and you make it stand out by focusing the subject on the left.
