Nice effect, and you seem to have done it legally, I guess.
I don't like the distractions of the papers behind the people. I LOVE the lighting in the windows. Why desat though? It's a pretty picture if you cropped from bush to bush.

Nice candid shot. I like the colors, but I think a better day would've done you well. The sky is very colorless.

Greetings from the Critique Club :)

Hi Jason...

Congratulations on a very emotive photo... Your view of symmetry in this photo is quite interesting and powerful at the same time. The mood in this image that you have created with the composition and the choice of sharp contrast black and white seems to support your feelings very strongly.

The title "Life" seems to sum up the scene in a simple and elegent word. The "life" of these cats also seems to be summed up by the mood you created here with the lighting and the black and white.

This is an excellent shot and I'm sad to see that it didn't score much higher...

Keep up the great work :)

Of the three best phtos in this challenge, this was the lowest placed: you're a victim of the symmetry obsessives, and thos wwho can't be bothered to read the challenge instructions. never mind, it remains a fabulous photo. The others, by the way, placed 72nd and 101st - so your in pretty good company.

edit: obviously, by 'best', I mean IMO.
