This is my little Chip. :) For the background, I used an old Halloween cape. Chip is laying on one of my old Halloween costumes. For lighting, I used a 60 watt lamp. Talk about a homemade studio! :-P
Chip only stayed in one spot because he was tired. His eyes lightened up when he saw my other cat, Salem, walking behind me. Good thing he didn't try to attack Salem this time :)

Well. . ..maybe it wasn't the best for the camouflage challenge, but I think it is a beautiful photo! There's something haunting and sleek about it. A beautiful animal, captured beautifully by your camera!
Hey, you stole my cat! :) Almost looks like my Tweety but she has white on her nose as wel. Cute shot. Good job getting the cat to look directly into the camera, I know exactly how hard that can be, LOL
The idea is great, as I see a few other people had the same idea but the problems I see with this one is the cat's not really camouflauged or disguises in any way. An adjustment to levels and/or curves could have had the cat blending more into the background though the blue and black would never really match exactly. If you had a black cloth or coat you could try this with. Also an adjustment to color balance, to the yellow to make the eyes really come out and maybe another to contrast to really make them pop. Normally this would get a 5 from me but because the subject is so darn cute, I'll pop it up to a 6 :)
This picture doesn't fit into this camouflage challenge, in my opinion. The cat stands out like a sore thumb. So I gave it a 1 because of that. It would have done well in another challenge under portraits.
