Disqualification Details
Cloning, dodging, burning, etc. to improve your photo or remove imperfections or minor distracting elements, etc. is acceptable. However, using any editing tools to duplicate, create, or move major elements of your photograph is not permitted.
presumably gone down teh route of not having a black background and dropping one in via the means of an art package. If you do this again I suggest using a little blur on the outlines to disguise this better as it looks like cut and stick. The cats white fur also seems over exposed or just no clarity of focus.
This could have been a really touching image - but the black background looks like itw as almost added on -there's almost a grainy line around each subject and it's very distracting. 4
Not sure if you are a Photoshop user, but you may want to look for a tool to soften up the edges after an extraction to lessen the jagged edges. Not sure if feathering is an option as well. I use PSP, so I can't be more specific. It's a great shot, I do like the composition, the biggest detraction is the rough edges.
