I do really like this shot, and I also checked out your somewhere else. That was cute too :)
I love the motion blur in this shot, you almost can't tell that it's a cat instead of just a black shadow :)

the curves in the picture are brilliant as well as the paw off the screen and black touches upon the rest that is light...

It helps to look at the photo, really.

Personally, I've never seen cat look quite so feral, quite so other-worldly, almost like a hole in the picture. Some of those cheesy 'wildlife' photographers could learn something from this. Top stuff, Az.

Interesting walkway, lines, and perspective. High contrast probably works for the high contrast challenge, for here, I'd prefer to see more midtones and detail, and the right paw that looks cut off.

This is a weird composition, but I like it. It feels like hte cat is escaping from the frame. 9

This is such a photograph. Largely a photo of a clean, manmade locale, it is somehow wild and dangerous, not least of all because of the cat, and how its dark shape seems to be another part of that fencing which has come to life and leaps away. and notice that he moves toward the viewer, making him all the more threatening. Unfortunatlely, the scores here only go up to 10.

This means cats can't be domesticated? Hmmm...I have two house cats that are very domesticated. :) Interesting post-processing this image has undertaken. For me I think it's just a little extreme (and blurry). Good luck in the challenge.

I don't quite think that's an oxymoron, I know quite a few people who own cats as pets.

because of the high contrast - it doesn't really bother me that it is out of focus - i would like to see the cat a little less tangent to the border, though.

I'm not sure what a domestic cat is an oxymoron? I'd like to have seen it from a lower angle - and the cat's paw being cropped at the front is not pleasing to my eye.
