i love this photograph and...
you're totally right about the baby bird. not as good as your cat. i don't know..it was a snapshot. i saw it, and took it for a friend, who was into photographing roadkill. it was in the middle of a paved basketball court in a park. i have no idea what is coming out of it's mouth...
i think that people would rather see flowers than this stuff..
personally, that REALLY bores me. i'd rather not tamper with the photograph at all. if it's good, it's good...otherwise, there's just something about changing them...
anyway..the cat is incredible. i really love it. nice work:)
First of all thank you to everyone who felt compeled to comment.
I knew they would range from disgust to wow, but when I saw the cat there was more than just a dead cat. And unlike some who feel this is not art I beg to differ, if all you see is a dead cat your not looking.
The composition of the image tells the story...ie. the double yellow lines, the tire marks, the look of total fear on the face.
The contrast was a problem there is a small area where cat and street tend to come together but when I printed the look is much better.
But thanks will do better with it next time, I hope the matter of well thought out photos continue and once agian thanks
My reaction went like this... "Eww, that's sick!" while remembering I'm a cat lover. Then I think to myself, "That IS a cat, right?!" Then I notice the faint lines in the road and then the tire track imprints still noticeable and let out another, "Eww!" Then I realize I need to read the title. "HAhahahahaa! That's too d*mn funny!!" :-D :-D Thanks for the laughs!
So, umm, I guess I don't have a 'real' critique on this, but it's a hilarious picture with a very appropriate title for this theme! :-)
oh damn.... is my comment on this photo the 100th one, or have u already exceeded that number? LOL
I see these almost everyday on the way to work. reality can be ugly. 9
YES!!! I LOVE THIS PHOTO. YOU STOLE MY IDEA!!! After the barage of cutzie pet shots last challenge I wanted to submit one just like this! Only problem is I couldn't find a dead cat and the neibor's live cat was took quick to catch with my truck! :) -10
That is truly a disgusting picture LOL, but it does fit the challenge assuming that he hadn't gotten hit eight times before that and this was infact his ninth life. Thank you for not putting this shot in color. :-)
Okay, I have to say something on this one. I saw it last night and was disgusted and then I thought, "Okay, it's a photography contest and sometimes there are unpleasant things to be seen, leave it until morning and try again."
Guess what? It's still disgusting. But putting that aside, one, how do you know he/she (how could you tell now?) they weren' t on their 9th life when this happened?
Second the over quality of the shot is wanting. It seems dark and the contrast is not there that could be.
