Meets Challenge: 1/1
Lighting: 0/2
Focus: 1/2
Creativity: 0/2
Aesthetics: 1/3

Explanation: When I rate an image that is

below 3, I will offer an explanation.


Lighting: The flash is too bright and is too harsh on a subject so close to the camera. It is hard to get detail out of black fur, but is also too reflective for flash so close. The eye colour is blown out due to it being more reflective than anything else, as well some areas on the tongue.
Focus: The image is in focus.
Creativity: Seems more like a snapshot of a funny moment than something meant for a challenge.
Aesthetics: All of the above results in an overall uninteresting photo. It is a funny picture, and got a point for aesthetics because it was a nice "catch" so to speak, of the moment.

What did you do to the cat to elicit this face?
07/02/2006 03:10:01 PM
That's kind of disturbing, but works well for the challenge. I don't care for the background though, it's very distracting, and the lighting is a littl harse. It is a good capture though, you've caught a very interesting moment.
07/02/2006 12:37:01 PM
lol, you captured a great moment here, scary cat!
07/02/2006 10:32:02 AM
The devil himself! He looks possessed.
07/02/2006 02:56:51 AM
Oooh...looks like heshe is really upset at the moment.
07/01/2006 12:09:19 PM
Oh my - I think you've upset him.
06/30/2006 10:15:17 PM
I love the expression!
06/30/2006 10:37:23 AM
Are you stepping on her tail? LOL
06/29/2006 09:49:01 PM
uh oh crazy cat!
06/29/2006 07:16:11 AM
looks evil, eeeeek! quite sharp but the light is quite harsh, which probaly suits the spookiness of the shot

Nice (especially the cat's tooth peeping out) - shame about the red (shampoo?) bottle - I'd have scored it higher otherwise.

Good shot...
06/28/2006 07:32:55 PM
I think this image proves there's a little devil in this black feline.

Try to keep the backround of photos free of useless clutter.

The flash makes the lighting harsh on this one. The red bottle to the side makes for a bit of a "snapshot" feel to it. 5

wow what a capture. thats one angry looking cat. This would be much better without such harsh lighting.

Maybe not, but this one looks absolutely evil. Great capture. Red eye would have really worked well on this one.

Love the one fang L()L. But the red bottle is a distractent, and the eyes look fake.

Unusual perspective of this shot really throws me off. Lighting also seem pretty harsh.

looks like a dead cat
06/28/2006 09:08:11 AM
wow that must've been hard to catch. I'm impressed.
06/28/2006 01:29:38 AM
Try no flash next time...

Oh how I wish shampoo wasn't in the background. Could've been top 5
