In order for a gratuitous photo such as this to score highly from me, it would need to be strong in photographic terms - to be able to stand alone as a photograph outside of it's subject matter. I am afraid that I do not see much evidence of photographic skill being used in this capture, and am grading accoringly.

I did not give this a high score and I want to explain why. I find that the background is not good - the lines just cut through visually what I want to focus on. The image quality seems a bit pixelated and the subject does not seem in focus as much as I feel it should be. Basically with the subject matter being what it is, it needs a good artistic treatment to be visually appealing as a photo and I do not find that here.

What prevented you from getting down on your belly and shooting something drastic and dramatic? A shot into the face with the blood spilling into the foreground for instance. I don't know wher eyou live, but in 33 years I've not once seen a dead cat laying on the street like this. So this is a) something unusual, b) something that anyone with a functioning eye can see meets the challenge and c) could make for a shocking, dramatic photo. Unfortunately what's come of it is someone walking up, pointing the camera down, and taking a snapshot. If you thought this was worth taking a picture of, you should consider what it is about this that makes it worthy and then do your best to capture that and present it to the voters/viewers.

Sorry for preaching. There's a ton of garbage entries in this challenge so seeing something that had so much promise given the tourist treatment just got me yapping.

Good luck.
