First expert editing attempt and done in a rush as this was entered 15 minutes before rollover. Learned a lot with this one. Thanks for all the good feedback in the comments. Also the closest I've come to a self portrait, that is my hand.

A softer brush to keep the edges on the cat from being so crisp will make him blend in a bit more. Here is a quick tutorial for PS but if you are using another program look at "feather edges". Judi did a masterful job of feathering in and matching color densities in her wining entry. The bones of this entry are very good, a few technical changes would have pushed it further up the placings.

I would prefer it without the cat. Probably because the cat doesn't blend in that well.

You had me at the hand. The cat is overkill.

LOL @ the expression on the cat.

Took me a while to see the raven! Like the mono- adds to the effect. The hand is good, the cat seems too prominent, maybe soften the edges a bit more. Nice effort.

i like the concept but the cut and paste into the scene is not seamless and seems unfinished.

The cats expression makes the shot for me. Well done.

I think it would have been more of an impact without the edited additions to the photograph.
