Silly, silly girl - how could you? If only for that cat, this would have been ART. Next time you'll know better, I'm sure.


I'll try to get all three cats in the next shot...would that make it a super crappy snap shot then and not just a simple one? I wonder...

I'm not at all surprised that the masses did not see the beauty in this wonderful image. But in a way, aren't you glad?

Fabulous composition! The cat didn't present itself to me until I stared at the image for several seconds. Then it startled me when it did. Great work.

Perfect title, lovely shot. I love the window curtain pulled up to give the cat a view.

The elephant being nearly the only thing in stark focus was easy to see. However for me, this appears to be a snapshot of a cat. For cat lovers and owners Im sure it is cute, but for the rest of us, it is only a simple snapshot.

Ha! Fab, looks like they might have fallen out, no doubt a massive social faux-pas on the part of the Elephant.

OK, I'm going through the Free Study submissions, purposefully finding those images I think are shot with a less conventional eye - this is one of those images! Thanks for offering something that isn't just DPC friendly eye-candy (though of course there's nothing wrong with eye-candy). I'll be picking one of these images for the Mu (most underrated) award:

Positives: Great silhouettes and I really like the curtain detail too. My favourite part is the horizontal lines of the partially pulled blind behind the curtain.

Critical stuff: The blurry edge of the cat - it shouldn't bother me, there is plenty of sharp areas for the eye to rest upon, but it really does; almost suggestive of a Lensbaby but not quite enough blur for that - it frustrates rather than pleases the eye.

Overall: A nicely crafted image with a number of compelling elements.

That is VERY cool and so unexpectedly artsy!! This has RKT written all over it.
