Challenge: Pet Portrait II (Advanced Editing V*)
Camera: Nikon D70

My first attempt with studio lighting.
I'm not really happy with the reflections on the pitcher or the highlights in the cat's eyes and I'm sure a better setup would have yielded better results. But all in all, I'm happy with the color and sharpness that I achieved.

I don't normally ever give a point for the title, yet this photo along with the photo are an excellent idea. Well done. GL>

3 - Unusual, but not really a 'Pet Portrait' in my opinion, but perhaps this is what you wanted, who knows.

Lighting, colors and composition idea are good. I like how you caught the cat looking at the goldfish. The cat almost looks like it is smacking it lips salivating over it's next meal. A shame that you could not capture the tonge actually hanging out of the side of it's mouth like it is licking it chops saying "MMMMM". That would add instant appeal and possibly catapult the score to a 10 but getting that sort of shot would take an extreme amount of time, patience and luck. There is one element that does not sit well: the glass container that holds the fish. It is not a fishbowl. It looks more like a glass pitcher rather than a place you would normally keep a fish. Because it is a glass pitcher it makes the whole scene seem a staged. Making the scene look like a natural occurance that one just happened to capture would vastly improve the visual appeal of the photo. To do that you would have to have the fish is a recognized stereotypical round fishbowl. Also the reflections serve to distract - well placed lights or a polorizer would help cut down or eliminate that problem.

With this challenege being an Advanced Editing challenge, I wish you would have taken off the bright reflections on the fish bowl. Otherwise, great job!
