Challenge: The Odd Couple (Advanced Editing IV)
Camera: Canon PowerShot S2 IS
Location: In my bathroom on the floor
Date: Feb 26, 2006
Aperture: 3.2
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/15
Galleries: Nature, Animals
Date Uploaded: Feb 26, 2006

 1. Neat Image
2. Brightness and contrast
3. Cropped and saved for 8x10
4. Cloned out few hairs from one of the cats eyes in PS
5. Saved for web and added a black frame.
Hope you like it, the best cat picture I have ever taken and it was quite hard to make them stay on the floor.
No cats were harmed during this photographing though :-)
-----
I was disappointed for a low score because there were so few people that saw the oddness of the cats. They are different, much different but you do have to look at the photo to see that. One of them is a Norwegian cat of the forrest, very long haired and a "Fluffy" one, but the other one is a "normal" cat.
Cats are not like lions, i.e. the male does not have longer hair around his neck.

Nice photo, but to me it doesn't really meet the challenge that well. If we had more incite behind what you were thinking, it would be much easier, but in this case it's really hard to understand. Like i said, very nice pic, just *maybe* not the right challenge

I'm not catching any oddness here. To me, it's just a nice pet portrait of two cats.

I love pet portraits. Nice pose captured, with that human standard pose of eye of one to chin of the other, and a good background. This could be just a tad sharper (maybe a curves/levels adjustment) with some catchlights in their eyes.

Really nice cat picture, but what's odd about this pair?

I don't understand what is supposed to be "odd" about this "couple"?

Nice cat portrait with a good complimentary background. Noth sure how this is an odd couple though. Am I missing something?

I am sorry, I can not for the life of me see what makes this on odd couple. they are sweet looking cats, but they look almost the same, and I do not think they want to be called odd :)

Ohhhhhhhhh. . . this is SO. . .so. ..wonderful! Your kitty on the right looks very much like my Smudge. And kudos to getting them to pose for you like that! I love your background. I love the way one is looking away and one at the camera. It's clean and sharp. My only teeny tiny suggestion would have been to crop it a little more on the right just so those beautiful faces would have completely filled the frame. But I LOVE this one anyway!!! 9
