Very interested in seeing how this challenge comes out! Very fun to let loose and just have some fun.

This is Sasha. She is the most athletic cat I have ever met. She belongs to my girlfriend Kathy and her daughter Kelly. They play with Sasha with a short stick with a string or length of ribbon tied to the end. Sasha does aerial somersaults chasing it. And when she wants to play, she digs through her own basket of toys and brings something to you and drops at your feet! Hilarious indeed.

The idea behind the Posthumous Ribbon is to encourage you to break the rules, to find new and different ways to express yourself. To free your mind to think clearly toward the solution that is certain to come, to laugh at world and at life, not doing what others are expecting you to do, but just following and listening to what's in your heart. DPC it’s a wonderful learning place where everyone should be supported on their way to be a photographer. A special attention should be aimed to those working hard with different views and approaches to photography, those not aligned with the mainstream taste and receiving no recognition. It’s our responsibility to support these photographers creating diversity and expressing different visions. Being active at the Posthumous thread it’s the best way to do it. Being active at the Posthumous thread it’s the best way to protect your and the other’s freedom of being different. Thanks for taking the time to enter this challenge. Stay wild.

Catlike ambiguities: one curtain or two or is cat between or behind or looking fore or aft. A cat is always hidden, no matter how many "eyes" are patterned into the curtain. Posthumousy feeling of almost but not quite, I must change my life.

Haunting. I love the pattern in the curtains which so beautifully complements the outline of the cat.

This is a beautifully self-contained and self-assured photograph. If she were still active here I'd have attributed this one to RKT. Or if not her then skewsme. Beacons in the darkness, those two. So well done & thank you!

I really like this one. Not sure how to score or comment on this challenge, but this one captured me right away. The colors, shadows and processing are great.

A sweet, curious moment. Other than the eerie color, I like the mirrored curves in the pattern and cat.

This one is soft, subtle...the beautiful rhythm of the shapes and patterns suggest a designer's eye. The tonality makes me feel peaceful. (no vote...just lurking).

I believe this is the essence of a Posthumous ribbon. It tells a story and amuses at the same time.

Nice off-centered silhouette and intereting pattern on the curtains.

ah, a cat picture even PH would love :-) Wonderful silhouette and colors. The wiggly lines and circles on the curtain are just icing on the cake.
