Challenge: Humor IV (Expert Editing)
Camera: Canon EOS-5D Mark III
Lens: Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM
Date: Feb 25, 2014
Aperture: 4.5
ISO: 1600
Shutter: 1/125
Date Uploaded: Feb 25, 2014

The best humor is that which just happens. This is a perfect example. While taking some other photos, my son found this funny looking cat and started playing with it. He said "daddy take picture of cat" so I turned around, so this, focused, and shot. It worked out perfect.

No expert editing here, but some advanced editing. I used Nik Color Efex Pro on the foreground, so it really messed up the background. Then Topaz Remask comes to the rescue to bring the original background back into play, giving this a smoother feel.

FYI, that weird grey area to the right of my son's head is in the original RAW. I don't know what it is!
