Cats are not necessarily cooperative. This one was a BIG challenge. He didn't like the camera in his face one little bit.

I like your use/control of DOF and the interesting color effect -- I'd be interested in knowing how you did it and seeing the before/after versions.

Not a bad composition... I'm afraid the blue/red tint takes a lot away from this shot. Some color adjustments would have made a lot of difference for this one.

I liked the way the magenta colour cast adds to the feel and mood of the picture.

I am going to assume you wanted the pink cast to this picture (if not, maybe adjust white balance), but I am not sure what it may add to the picture. How did it look with true whites and blacks -- or even as a bw photo? karmat

The coloring is way too blue and looks unnatural. This can easily be corrected in any photo editing program. The kitty is beautiful and I like this profile shot. Also meets the negative space criteria. Good luck in the challenge. Grayce aka Gracious

very grainy multihued nonuniform background, I am not sure if that does it for me with 'neg space.'

I like the colours here, and the paint-stroke effect of the background is attractive. Seems very pixelated, I do understand this may because of resizing or low resolution camera.

What's the cat staring at? This looks kinda wierd with the pink light. 4

Good photo. Not sure about the pink cast though. going with 6 but would go higher if the color balance was better.

(i'm only making quick comments for scores 8+..sorry)
This is a great photo. I love the colors and the texture. I detect some post-processing...I like it. However, one small tiny thing, it appears to be over sharpened/contrasted, where as the nice soft flowing texture of the image is interrupted by small areas in the fur - especially along the edges of the cat's head and whiskers. (only my observation) 8

Is the cat white with black markings? I have a fairly well adjusted monitor and the whole photo seems on the pinkish/purple side? 7 Swash

Good idea...however,the purple cast distracts form the picture, IMO

I like how the cat is detached from the background. Challenge : ok. Composition .... I think it would have been better done a different way. Did you try different cropping ? it is too mucj centered on the vertical direction to my taste. 6

I know, I know... lemme guess... cat owners will COMPLETELY get this picture. But boy do I hate cats. hehe I really like the colors. Good job! - bamaster (7)

I love the coloring on this. 9

nice use of - space :)
09/16/2002 04:16:00 PM
I think a more colour corrected version of this image might have been more effective. It's great that the cat is looking into the negative space. Gives it a reason for being there
09/16/2002 03:05:00 PM
Fantastic catch of good expression. Cats....love them. Could of been sharper, more focus. Score 6 Justine

nice color! is s/he wet? sgtpepper6344

I'm not sure I care for the dominent redish tone, but I gave this picture a 10 because of two things:
First & foremost, the NegSpc *does* say "wow" and compliemtns the overall pic.
Second, the subject is well chosen, poised and framed.
