 Made the cat play with the feather (not hard). Chased them around with the camera for a while (....harder). Managed to get a photo that conveyed the idea, (hardest)

Cropped, levels, saturation, USM

Post Challenge: Thanks for all the great comments!!
don't worry...there never really was a bird....just a package of yellow feathers!

A sad story but very well dramatized. Congratulations on your top 20 finish.

Nicely done. Love the detail in the feather and the blurred cat, classic!

Good illustration of "too late!" Is it my imagination, or is that cat smirking?

Had to take a 2nd look to figure this one out since I didn't see the cat right away. Cute idea... perhaps a little more of the cat would help it stand out? Nicely done though!

I really like this one.
Really subtile and well executed.Maybe a little crop at the bottom and on the right (not sure for the right). 8

Haha very humorous and I like the focus on the feather w/ cat in blurry background-good composition. Only thing that I don't like is the color of the thing that the feather is resting on. It might have been nicer as a more neutral color b/c when its red it distracts me from what I should really be looking at.

Nice idea. It's somewhat difficult to recognize the cat. More DOF would help, and I want to see the cat's eyes.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 12/07/2005 02:02:21 PM
great!! very clever, I had to stare a bit to figure out the cat, it would be lovely if the cat were a bit sharper, a different DOF perhaps?

The narrative works well with the challenge.

I think the blurring here makes the cat a little too subtle for me; I feel that it could be a bit sharper and perhaps showing the eyes would've helped.

Good idea; I like your focus decision as well.
