Kitty in the "No Felines Zone"
by kandyj

Comment by lionelm:
INITIAL RESPONSE : Greta colors, Car nicely 'detached' fro the background, perfect Depth of field, What is the cat looking at ?

COMPOSITION : The cas is so great, the position of the head, the expression. One of the rare photo of animal where I think the cat is really living something, almost 'human'. The face is so great , the fur so nice with all its variations of gery.

What bothers me a little is that there is not 'space' between the head and the pole. It's not that important in this case because the cat is really on a different vertical plan than the pole in term of depth, so they are separated by depth.

TECHNICAL : Perfect, depth of field, exposure, speed (thepicture look so precise and sharp without showing any post-sharpening. Very sharp and soft at the sae time. I like it.

DIGITAL PROCESSING : None or not visible so .. perfect

MY OPINION :
I Like this picture a lot, one of the best 'cat picture' I have seen for the expression of the cat. A little bother by the pole touching the head (see above).
As of the relation to the challenge .. I am not sure I get it.
Nice picture, worth a good place in your personnal gallery.

I like the blend of close and faraway subjects, however the colors seems off ... like a yellowed newspaper. Still a nice angle.

Nice color, and nice composition. IMO, I think the photo could use some sharpening.

This is great, I wish I could get a fortune cookie like that and that it would come true! Great composition, I really like the 3-d look to this, given to it by the shadow that falls over the cookie. The only thing I might try to be aware of next time is your background, and the white fuzz or spots on it. Otherwise great photo! -9- Good luck!

There are not really a lot of instances where sepia works for me. This one turned out pretty well. The composition isn't terribly exciting but it's a pretty nice pic. - Inspzil

Comment by xertion:
Funny humor. To improve this shot I would have worked on a more interesting warmer lighting. The bright lights make the cookie appear very dull in color.

the rock shots are great..I think your color choice does not do it justice...the background seems to float the farthest rock formations in air.
