I was blowing catnip bubbles made by the Cosmic Catnip Company and my blue Maine Coon Cat Tommy was really into it... This shot happened as he lined up with the bubble and the mirror... kind of psychedelic...

There are so many things about thsi picture I like. The Cat's surprised look, the reflection of the photographer in the bubble. Could have been better set up, but you know what they say about children and animals. Take the shot when you can! well done
The flash is too harsh here. A trick I have for on camera flash is taking a white plastic spoon, breaking off the handle & rubberbanding it on. Diffuses it quite nicely :0)
It would have been better if I couldn't see the background and the flash level was lower. It's way too bright and there's too much going on the the photo
I love cats, and this has the potential to be a cute idea.
Here are the things that bother me about it: Blurry, Grainy, Flash reflection in mirror and extremely blown highlight on bubble wand. Composition doesn't do much for me and the mirror and shadows in background are very distracting. Don't feel bad, though; I think it will do better than my entry.
