I see you've crowned yourself as the princess. Where's the bite marks on the leg.

Paranoid eggbeater, ascending

**Critique Club Comment**

Well the white balance and the somewhat harsh lighting I don't need to comment on too much. I think the main thing that I could see to improve this would be the actual personification. You chose a great object - I can definitely see how this would seem to be a person - but putting it in this particular situation doesn't really work that great for me. I don't feel emotionally engaged by the idea of what the object is going through. What might work better for me is to keep the ascending pose but add some more elements to the scene so that the object could be interacting with or reacting to them.

Greetings from the Critique Club...

I was not able to vote on this challenge, but if I had, I probably would have given you a 6.

My first impression is that this is a nicely executed photograph that fits the theme very well. I like the variation in colours of the stars, and all the intricate details. The background has details, but is neutral enough to not be distracting. The unbalanced framing was a good choice as it lets the viewer wander around the image. I find myself coming back to the gold star, probably because it is near the center, and the colour is brighter than the rest. I don't have any constructive criticism that I feel would add to the photo. I said I would have voted the image a 6 because it is a lovely photograph, but it doesn't "speak to me" as well as some of the entries.

After reading the comments below, it does look like a cat!

If you need any clarification on any of my comments, please feel free to pm me. It might take some time for me to get back to you.

This is an absolutely exquisite composition. Should have scored MUCH higher! Classy & elegant......trés subtle in its flavour!
