I think your guess is pretty accurate. I only gave it a five because for me there's too much light on the mouse and I really wish it looked more real. Predict a 5.75 or maybe even closer to your guess.
nice textures, but you must realize that the public will never believe that cats eat with knives and forks, and you are bound to incur outrage at the paw binding of the mouse... I predict 5.7777. 6 from me.
This could be a 6.1, good lighting and composition. Although, we've seen him in free study, people might give you lower votes. Personally I gave it a 5.
This looks like a vawendy shot. Somehow she gets away with things, like a black cat disappearing into a black background, and only dodging the area around the head of the cat to create a strange halo, that other photographers would get knocked down for. So with calculations for her black magic I'll guess DPCers will focus on the cuteness and give this a 6.2
such cute models! And a nice idea too. But it's hard to look at because the black fur doesn't stand out from the background. 6 from me and I predict 5.82 just like your guess
I will agree with your prediction of 5.8, cute shot, I have two Kitties and one looks exactly like this one, and she is really tough to photograph well, the black fur eats light and reflects very little. good exposure and lighting technique here. I will vote this a six. Good Luck!
Stuffed mice are not all that tasty. Ask Lido; I'm sure he's eaten at least one LOL. Light is nice as always. That curl of chair on the right almost looks like it's coming out of his ear, though. Still think this will be higher than your guess: 6.07
Funny idea, but it misses some power in the shot. I think that shooting it from a different angle would make it better. MAybe a whole white plate with a small colored border. 5.4
The resemblance (pose) between cat and mouse is astounding! That it IS a cat and mouse is hilarious. Love the rich colors.
Since I'm not sure DPC voters will respond to the humor, I predict a 5.8 as well.
In my DPC experience, stuffed animals bring down a score - perhaps a butterfly or real mouse would have made this well-photographed image ribbon material. 5.68
Funny scene. The black cat in the dark background gives it a sense of disconnected eyes looking at the mouse. (Your other entry caught the eyes perfectly) i gave this one a six and predict a 6.3.
I'm pretty sure this is Mo. I would imagine your guess is a little low and predict in the sixes. I like the concept of the mouse on the plate, but would have tried to use a representation that wasn't a stuffed toy, which is where I think the fine art component of this extremely well lit, wonderfully processed image is let down. 6.24
Hello, I voted a few days ago, now returning for comments. I think that you estimated your score well, I gave you a six and I predict that you will finish at 5,7854
It is a pity the cat is black. a few white racing stripes painted along his head would help !!! Ha Ha not serious!! 8
would love to know how this image goes.I had a black on black in "Oil" its at 4.5
yours is much better
Love the look the cat is giving that stuffed mouse. Lighting is excellent. I really enjoy this image, so I have to give you much higher than you score yourself.
7.2 Really finely done. What a wonderful children's book illustration this would make. The lighting is terrific, with the highlit mouse on the plate and the black cat emerging from the darkness.
Not until I opened the thumbnail did I realize the black hunter lurking...
Beautifully lit. Everything important sharp as a tack. Effective composition. Fun story unfolding. Earns more than 5.82 from me!
