 My Birman cat nearly went blind during this shoot with the flash going off, but he kept sitting up and waving his paws like I wanted him to!

And who's to say my cat DOESN'T have 8 legs?

HAHA... love the Octopussy.. You just have to rename that cat now. Nicely done too, especially the front legs :)

Susan, too bad the challenge wasn't under the new expert editing rules - this is just too fun, and I even like the one red eye. I'm sorry that it was gone before I could vote on it.

just checked the scores on Bond to see where Octopussy would've landed up, based on rough score of 5.809 (my calculations). He'd've have finished up about 28th! Argh!

Oh well. I was one of your 10's. I love the humour and I think it's worth the DQ. :-)
Have fun!

The fact that the cat is out of focus, has one red eye, and is excessively large only adds to the beauty of this shot. Love it!

This was already gone by the time I voted, but I would have definitely given this a 10. At least!

:- Cute shot
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 12/04/2006 08:44:46 PM
Very amusing and clever. I'll be interested to see how you managed this. I'm guessing a long exposure with a strobe light and a dangly thing over the cat.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 12/04/2006 07:30:56 PM
Woa- that is one large cat! And he has an awful lot of legs :-) And he's caught in a Salvador Dali painting!

Very funny take - I like your literal interpretation. I just feel sorry for the poor cat.

OMG that look quit weird! :) Funny shot, how did you do that?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 12/04/2006 05:44:31 AM
I hope you will provide us with a tutorial on this. There has to be at least three flashes/exposure here ;-) I'm really interested to see how you masked this one off.

Nicely done
