 Experimenting with making images using a zoneplate. Zoneplates are not for sharp-image buffs - soft focus comes with the territory. Sorry, folks.

A "zoneplate/pinhole challenge" would be great fun.

LOL. First, thanks for giving me a new term to look up: zone plate.

Maybe I'm cutting you slack because I know much of your imagery and I like it, and I know you know full well what you're doing. I can't swear I'd vote this highly. However, now I don't need to bother separating out what I know, so I'll just say it's a fun image and it captures a cat's "science" perfectly. :)

And congrats on a 2.6+ difference in score between avg. and commenters, especially since that includes a couple of commenters who clearly didn't like it!

Wow, don't apologise, this is fantastic! The way the stark black/white contrast melts into the faded image of the cat... fantastic sense of proportion, awesome stuff.

Just beautiful! And now that I've googled zoneplates I'm very intrigued and impressed with your cleverness I must say.
