your prediction is wrong! and in a good way too.
The lighting is great, I like these sort of lighting - it's dramatic.
The cat adds a whole lot of "life" to the composition too. well done :)
you're not very good at predicting are you lesley? there's a long way between 4.8 and 6.2328! top 10% is good for this...it's lacking a bit of sharpness but I am sure you knew that...I love the wide angle, nice
Well you got an 8 from me for this one. Did not have much time to leave comments on the challenge though so coming back after to see who was who... nice one.
what a beautiful photo. you have a world of rectangles at exciting angles, some due to perspective, others to orientation, large mysterious areas of darkness with long highlights in them, and you have your subject calmly but alertly centered in all this madness. Oh, and you have light, coming in through the windows. 10
I give this a 10: the picture has interest, patina, texture, a haunting atmosphere, a friendly character in the cat and fantastic use of natural honest light!!
Interesting! That bright spot on the wall behind makes it look like the cat's ass is on fire - or smoldering at least. :P
Overall excellent job - lots to look at, but it is pulled together by the dark feel. Good luck.
