gave this an 8. I did not know that this type of border was illegal and I am honestly quite surprised at this. I haven't been very active in the last year though, so that might not be unexpected.
The continuity of color is particularly effective in this one: leaf - grass - eyes. |

| DANG here too!!! It's funny though how the comments were really divided on the border that got me disqualified. I knew it and basically turned myself in to site council as soon as I realized... I wish I had listened to my hsband who thought the border was too much and the image didn't need it. It was at 6.47 when it got disqualified. Would have been in the top 50 and a PB for me... [SIGH] |

| This is a fantastic shot .. the cat's eyes are simply brilliant and the composition with the leaves very appealing. BUT the frame really does not do this justice as it is far too distractingl. |

| Great playful shot. Balancing the greens of the eyes off the grass and leaves works really well, and allowing the grass to blur out in the foreground pushes the eye into the shot and the main subject. I also love the circular shape of the leaves that mirror the eyes and act as a visual stop to keep the point of interest firmly on the cat. |
