| Hello, just came across this shot, it is different and daring and affective. The only problem I see is that it looks pixelated, I am surprised no one else saw this, it is most obvious on the tips of the cats ears and the very tops of the grass. |

| You know, the more I look at this shot the more I like it. I can hardly believe it fared as poorly as it did during the challenge... it's a far better photo than the score would indicate ' - ) |

| i like the oof of this shot. the sepia adds a wonderland surreal dreamy quality that gets me in the mind of the kitten. |

Wonderful shot! The composition is great and the point of view really enhance this photo. One thing - it appears the focused grass area was a bit too sharpened/contrasted creating a somewhat distracting line - I think I would prefer it all slightly blurred. 8

| Your picture is an excellent example of the role depth of field plays in a picture, and I'm not trying to be sarcastic:) You can see a narrow area in the grass that's sharp and the rest is more or less blury. If your camera allows you to adjust DOF, you might try some experiments and see the difference. I like your idea very much, and if the grass and the cat were sharp it would have been one of my favorites. |

this is a quaint image. i really like the composition and the mood it evokes, and the use of the razor thin depth of field is interesting. i cannot offer improvement for this because it is too nice as it is. it doesn't work well for texture though, in my opinion. ~mcmurma

this is a case where I don't like the narrow depth of field. I think the picture would be better if ALL of it were blurry. But that is my opinion, and I suspect I am in a vast minority. I like the colors. It has kinda a dreamy quality to it. karmat
I'm back. I just noticed something else I liked about this picture (subsequently moving it up a vote). The position the cat is in automatically makes me look into the distance to see what it sees. I just really like this picture. |

| This picture looks out of focus, and could be a little sharper. The red tint also takes away from the picture. (4) AquaGoddess12880 |

| i've already seen your comments in the forum (or your webpage?) so i know the shallow DOF is kind of accidental, but if i hadn't known that, i would've probably commented as follows: the coloring is kind of unique for this kind of shot and i like it. cat and grass make good subjects for texture, but i would increase the DOF (preferably) or at least change the focus so the DOF is where the cat is. also, if it was possible to position the cat more in the picture (ROT) i would like that, too. i wonder what it's looking at? -- gr8photos (3) |

| I see texture, but the sepia tones work against you in this one - in my opinion |

| The DOF in this photo is very interesting. I did not "get" it the first couple of times I looked at it, but I kept coming back and finally I do see what you were trying to achieve. Good job of taking a risk and submitting something that forced me to think. |

| I know some will say they do not like this picture, but I find it very creative. Not sure it has enough texture for this assignment, but I do like the photograph. |

| I must confess to dismissing this image prematurely in my first viewing... I said "another dang soft focus of texture"... I admit, I was wrong... This is the one photo this week tht made a shallow dof work FOR you instead of against. I think I would have liked it even more if the dof included that small patch at the very bottom... Kind of a 'sharp up to the cat' thing. Also, did you consider moving the cat (easier said then done, I know) to the 'third' point? This may or may not have been an improvement, just wondering if you considered it... Bumping you 3 points to a 7... Hope everyone takes a second look |

| this is a really nice concept... I love the overall image, but if the cat had been in focus here along with the foreground grass, the visual impact would have been much greater... = 5 - jmsetzler |

| if this is really the effect you wanted for this shot, it's just not working for me. the very soft focus on about 95% of the pic don't help for the texture assignment, IMHO. 3 beegee |

| Needs more DOF - try smaller aperture. |

| Perhaps everything is deliberately out of focus but I don't care for it. Ditto on the over-sepia toning. |

Interesting use of sepia, but there is sooo much out of focus....is this one of those soft focus shots I keep hearing about? If the cat were a nude, she'd be upset! Ha

| The very shallow depth of field with blur in the foreground hurts this shot a bit. |

| The lifestyle magazines are full of shots like this, and I'm none to keen on them. But it seems to be as good as any of its type, so have an 8. |
