 Barney. He's really very sweet. :)

-----------------
post-challenge - was aiming for nightmarish in the two side images, which is why the colors/wb are different from the middle image. Was trying to express an emotional dimension that was outside what we really "see" - high contrast, high sharpening and mostly desat seemed to do the job well. Originally I had 3 separate images (two different nightmarish images) but they didn't seem to go together very well and I found that reversing the one so that both sides seemed to scream outward from the middle image worked the best. Challenge rules said I could use *up to* 3 different images, so I took them at their word on it. :)

another shot that I thought should have scored higher.

i have a barney - he's a beagle. but he doesn't show the kind of emotions your barney does. very pretty kitty! love the wild pics on the side and the calm kitty in the middle. great balance!

Very Jekyll and Hyde. A well thoughtout idea. Even though the coloring on the central photo was different I think it hurt you a bit. A refreshing take on the Triptych idea.

I like this one, and it expresses what you were after, but I do like the "shouting at" one better, just because the look of Barney in the center shot goes so well with the two yelling at him. I quite like your envisioning, though, and getting to where you wanted to get!

Great idea and I love the two outside shots, I'm not sure the shot in the middle is quite right. I think it needs to be staring straight at the viewer.

funny, and the howling image is really cool. blurry and scary and funky. 7

i like this.. the middle shot alone would be bland, but it almost *speaks* because you see the shots on the side.

A great idea and well captured, but using the same image twice is a slightly "cheap" way to create a triptych

middle one should have the same WB.

I think it would've been better to take two shots for the side images rather than rotating one, but it does look a bit neater this way.
Adorable cat.
I love the way the eyes stand out.
Great image.
