Thank you everyone for all the great comments and the favs, I was so excited all week long, I had gotten my first 7. I would of never used this for my free study if I knew I was illegal in my editing. I guess I learned the hard way. Sorry. :(

I was afraid editing may have gone over the line on this. Nonetheless this is a keeper of an image for sure. Very nice work.

This is great, first or second in my opinion (9)- perhaps a smidgen more "light" on his/her right ear, would make my first ever 10 vote - IMO

Nice low-key portrait of the cat. She looks angry or sleepy.

Beautiful. Nice composition. Spooky eyes. Maybe a tad dark, although I suspect that was deliberate. I wish I could see the cat's left ear though.
