Nice capture. I'm not convinced the bottom third-ish of this picture is entirely necessary, though I suppose it lends a sense of height. Lighting is a bit harsh, but I appreciate the candid nature of this shot.
if i strip away the title and did not know what the challenge was, authority would never cross my mind. i would be left with a nice bw image, nicely lit and sharply focused.
What a nice puss :) I understand the picture and I like it very much. I give you an 8, because I see something interesting in this picture. If only the background was completely black... becuase it's not the shot lost some power.
This title seems known to me...Funny how the same statement can suggest two completely different things. I'd have put the plate a bit further into the image. The cat really seems eager to jump right onto it, I like that.
