Perhaps he (she) is dead, but it looks like a cat laying near a red spot.
12/10/2006 03:39:23 PM
that's paint right? Uninteresting though.
12/10/2006 12:25:51 PM

12/10/2006 11:10:59 AM
this is disgusting, sorry...but it really is.

In order for a gratuitous photo such as this to score highly from me, it would need to be strong in photographic terms - to be able to stand alone as a photograph outside of it's subject matter. I am afraid that I do not see much evidence of photographic skill being used in this capture, and am grading accoringly.
12/10/2006 01:57:31 AM
I did not give this a high score and I want to explain why. I find that the background is not good - the lines just cut through visually what I want to focus on. The image quality seems a bit pixelated and the subject does not seem in focus as much as I feel it should be. Basically with the subject matter being what it is, it needs a good artistic treatment to be visually appealing as a photo and I do not find that here.

What prevented you from getting down on your belly and shooting something drastic and dramatic? A shot into the face with the blood spilling into the foreground for instance. I don't know wher eyou live, but in 33 years I've not once seen a dead cat laying on the street like this. So this is a) something unusual, b) something that anyone with a functioning eye can see meets the challenge and c) could make for a shocking, dramatic photo. Unfortunately what's come of it is someone walking up, pointing the camera down, and taking a snapshot. If you thought this was worth taking a picture of, you should consider what it is about this that makes it worthy and then do your best to capture that and present it to the voters/viewers.

Sorry for preaching. There's a ton of garbage entries in this challenge so seeing something that had so much promise given the tourist treatment just got me yapping.

Good luck.

that's some pretty pink blood. what happened?
12/07/2006 06:40:20 PM
Very cheesey
12/07/2006 05:44:18 PM
I'm a cat-lover... don't really like this view..
12/07/2006 04:57:20 PM
This guy who took the photo is not very good
12/07/2006 04:27:52 PM
Gross! This looks like a 'real' cat.
12/07/2006 04:04:46 PM
Amazing, best picture yet
12/07/2006 03:34:48 PM
hahaha really funny - was it supposed to be ?
12/07/2006 01:28:42 PM
I don't really see any sort of artistic merit in this photo.
12/07/2006 01:12:44 PM
phenomenal....
12/07/2006 12:56:49 PM
wow...
12/07/2006 12:34:05 PM
AWESOME!!!
12/07/2006 06:53:07 AM
What's this ? I hate it...
12/07/2006 02:43:32 AM
damn that is brutal - the red and black are ? well they contrast - I will give you credit for posting this as brutal as it is and as many cat lovers are on this site my guess is this won't do too well,... good luck.
12/07/2006 02:12:36 AM
amazing
12/07/2006 02:01:49 AM

12/06/2006 06:40:47 PM
Excellent picture, I wish I could take one this good.I really like the blood!
12/06/2006 05:51:58 PM
I hope you did not kill this cat just for a photo. This is sick.
12/06/2006 03:49:35 PM
that's too cruel
12/06/2006 03:00:37 PM
I think this is taking it a bit too far.
12/06/2006 08:22:17 AM
Just curious as to where you saw this. It looks pretty real and fresh. Pretty disturbing!
12/06/2006 07:56:15 AM
Poor taste
12/06/2006 02:57:40 AM
very dramatic, but i think the blood is a bit too red/light.
12/06/2006 12:37:19 AM
Good modeling, or the real thing? Don't know if cat blood is that red. At least there is one less black cat to cross the street in front of you!
