Everything seems out of focus.

I thought this was a delightful shot! I now know what you were talking about with the focus, but it's not that much off and the shot as a whole is really, well, delighful! In fact, the slight out of focus lends to the kitten just happening to wander into the picture concept. The colors are excellent, the whimsical nature of the hat with the red rose sitting on the vase is wonderful, and the painting on the wall really tops it all off. AND you have three favorites!! This, by my definition, is a successful Free Study entry.

It is interesting that the very thing that often detracts from photos by making them look flat(front lighting) is genious in this photo. If the cat's shadows were evident, it would be just a photo of a cat with a vase on a shelf. As it is, the cat looks like an integral part of the still life. Very well done.

I'm giving this a pretty low score, but want to make a comment just to let you know that I respect your effort here. The choice of the baby shop sign behind the cemetery was well found - and the title makes sure the viewer doesn't miss the meaning. I like that about this entry. The part that made me vote low is the technical quality above all. It feels like it might've been shot out a car window. Now that I think about it, maybe the flimmery, out of focus look is what you're going for. If that's the case, sorry that it didn't work for me.

oooh... love it... maybe try a pass of shadow/highlight? - though it may take away a little of the foreboding quality...

Comment by Blackbox:
Oh...this is perfect if only it were a little better quality. I guess it's ok (the blur) because then I think it would be wrong to be able to read the names of the dead. I'll go with an 8.

complex but coherent composition. 8. I love this. It's beautiful. the cat seems no more real than the painting or the flower on the hat. bump to 10
