Wow I can't believe people didn't relate this to the challenge. I gave this a 9. Maybe some people need to turn the brightness up on their monitors. What about the reflection in the glass??
You can really feel the glass in this shot. The reflected image lets us see what the cat would see. All around good work. The top of the cats head seems to be very slightly overexposed and there are some streaks in the top right corner that I wish weren't there.
Fabulous quality here - and great texture - can almost feel the fur of the cat. There's real transparency to this, as though nothing has got in the way of your vision.
like the mirrored colors of cat and flowers this one grows on me as I look at it but for me there is too much dark with an "unexplained" square of grey upper right
This is one of my favorite cat shots so far. Maybe it's cause I like the breed, looks like Tonkinese to me perhaps, but I think it's because of the excellent composition, lighitng, and focus. Great job. I'd crop a little more off the left, but who knows, people always tell me to crop differently and I think they're crazy too!
