Nice work. I think this shot works well with your processing over the original. The original is good but the interest factor is higher an this one. Well done.

Not sure why but I was drawn to this pic from thumbnail. Nice profile shot and an interesting looking man.

Great shot and nice colors. A shame that your sky has so many dark clouds as a lightly cloudy blue sky would have been great and send this one over the top. Great capture and I hope this does well for you. One of my top picks in the challenge. Back to bump - this shot really makes me smile - Great job!

Great shot. Very nice colors between the sand and sky. Hope you didnt make your model walk on too much farther. The slanted horizon is great and the detail is sharp. Great job and bumping up. Back to bump up one more time - I gie you a 9 overall.

Brilliant shot. Wonderful model and the selective desat is perfect. Looking forward to seeing a ribbon by this picture. Love it!

Edit - Back again to bump this one up - my top pick of the challenge and giving you the final two points to make it a ten. Great shot!

Edit one last time - wish I could give you one more point but I cant. So instead I add this to my favorite pics.

OK one more edit - I am tellin ya I love this shot. My wife just got home from a week long business trip and before I showed her my future entry I showed her this one. I am gonna be so mad if you dont ribbon. (Seriously I am not a DPC stalker)

Hey - I knew I missed a shot in between opening day and when I voted. I am guessing you were revived from the DQ bin. To be honest I thought this was gonna go that route because of the lack of color in the cats eyes. Makes one think that it was a desat job. But since it has returned you must have gotten by on your editing. That said - I am not quite sure what to think about the processing. Look slike you added film grain maybe to take away from the softness of the shot. The high contrast at first seemed too much but as I sit and go back and look at it again and again I seem to enjoy the pic more. I really like cat pics in the first place and thi sone is growing on me. I hope the time away from voters hasnt hurt you too much. Good luck!

Very nice shot, lovely colors and detail. I believe the border is a bit too much. A smaller border would have allowed a larger picture and I think that would have worked better for this shot overall. Good job though.
