The legendary "kitty nose with appel" - it works on so many levels:
I feel bad I can't do the original justice, sorry charliebaker!
--------------------------------------
Thank you all for the kind comments, I am so pleased to get a top ten - it was a close challenge! This is my favourite brown ribbon, I added it as a fav pretty early on. The best aspect of it though (that I couldn't recreate) was that it was submitted in the roadside challenge!

DAMNIT! THIS should have been top 3, im revolted that the stupid people on this site didn't vote this one higher.
At least you made top 10, congrats!
;-)
very nice, your kitty's eyes and face are nice and sharp, composition is great, I like your upclose crop and how the paw looks like it's coming toward the apple. the only thing is I'm wondering if a deeper dof could have brought the apple a little more in focus, I also like that the colors of the apple are reflecting in the eyes and complementing the kitty's natural color
Not sharp enough on the apple top to be really exciting, IMO. Perhaps a tad bit higher set up would also show where the stem meets the apple and be more pleasing. I know you're shooting with a moving cat... so perhaps this isn't possible.
i absolutely LOVE this one! much better than the original, lol!
i love the eyes, love the fur texture, love the green of the apple
hope you do very well!
