This does have a lovely emotive quality to it - and I have to laugh after reading your photog comments - now I have an image of her hoisted in the air thinking, "what the...?" :)

Well-placed point of focus, and a handsome cat! I like that the overall color scheme you chose for the challenge was not the norm.

7 - Nice colors and composition. Looks like it needs a whisker up on the right.

Really nice. I think the cross is the little detail that makes this a very interesting image.

Nice image. Tones suit this well as does the grain. Like the other pelican that you notice last minute.

Into the Light

I really like the setup of this shot. Wonderful setup. Just a thought, I might be tempted to crop off the top a bit, just so there is no light up there. I realize you were going for the architecture of the building, but this might have more a visual impact. Your mileage may vary though. But beyond my unrequested two cents, I really do like this picture. A very well done shot and I can't stress enough how good the lighting and setup are. Superb.

Frankly, this was my favorite in the challenge. A good portrait with terrific environmental elements something that is rarely seen.

I did vote this challenge and it's too bad I'd seen this one ahead of time - definitely one of my favorites of what was a pretty darn good challenge! Grats on yet another 6+!

comment related to your "pointers to what doesn't work" question. First, with a 6.94 score, I wouldn't say it has not worked. My take is that it lacks the high contrast tack sharp details that seem to work better on average here (too "dirty"). But at this stage, I would not change anything, unless your only goal is to collect ribbons. Because this photo is at least worth the ones that ribboned - if not better. - as it is. (for one it is perfectly sharp, imho, where it needs to be, no more).

The colours and the mood of this image are really nice. For me the composition is perfect. Based on the score, it looks like the voters agree. I think what might have pushed this up in the standings a little bit more would be if the dog were sharper.
