Bouncing in and out of the 4's all week. 14 comments and 2 faves though. Cant complain there.

For any one who cares this is a shot of my black cat. his right eye was closed and his left eye was just a sliver open. When I converted this from RAW I jacked the black slider way up and it gave me that solid black look you see here (it passed SC validation so no worries there). Very little processing after that. My one wish is that I had some black underneath his chest to give me a thick black border all the way around. (No canvas was added to give me the top black).

Thank you all for the comments. Oddly enough I had a portarit that would have scored really well in this challenge but decided to go wityh a fun shot instead.

I would've bumped my vote up for humor and creativity on this one. Funny idea. Reminds me of a Cheshire Cat.

I thought this was pretty cool. I love how the white whiskers are just floating about, ready to settle on the white patch below. Now I wish I had a black cat!
