 Experimenting. Autofix gave me the blue tint that complimented her shiny coat and I kept going from there. Cloned out a necklace that didn't help the composition, cloned out a couple exposed claws (ouch) and messed with the levels. Too much? I hate this advanced editing. Oh yeah, and a cat with a rose! Can't wait to see this score.

Thanks for all the positive and helpful comments. This did better than I expected.

I like this a lot, but wish the flower weren't so oversaturated.

Nice composition. Looks like s/he has nice eyes. I'd like to see them. Fantastic that the rose isn't in shreads. It would have taken no time at all for my cat to destroy the it!

A beautiful pose with good composition, but the contrast and saturation are too high for me. You've lost a lot of detail in the reds and the greens by having so much saturated color, which is a distraction.

You managed to get good definition on the cat's hairs in this shot. Good contrast of black and red.

Very nice blue-black, it goes great with the very saturated rose. The red of the rose looks a little hot to me, but the green is excellent. I also like the cat's expression even though it's not facing the camera. It looks thoughtful!

Kitty is beautiful; I worry a little about the rose. Seems (to me) a bit over saturated. Nevertheless, it's a fine photograph. 8

Black is hard to expose right and you've managed to retain a lot of the details in the cat's fur. In contrast the red of the rose looks a little oversaturated.

Charming shot, I like it. Your light in nice. I've had two yellow eyed black cats..they are wonderful and special.
I only fault the soft focus. Good luck in the challenge.

Looks overexposed or overprocessed. My first thought was not black, but blue...
