Default Speed Challenge #6

Ok, my photo is not here for the quality of the image obviously.* This was just on my last roll of film I had developed.* I scanned it for a friend and am not really in the mood to wait around to scan another picture (it takes 3-4 minutes...not long but boring)...especially when my scanner does such an icky job.* So, you are stuck with this one.* ** It was taken when it was almost dark out with only my pop-up flash.* Still, I thought it could lend itself to extreme creativity.* Show birds putting down spike strips around the base of the bird feeder, or show your talent for turning a none too good snap shot into something actually nice.*

I don't know if this is a stupid, eternally hopeful, or strange cat, because that can't be terribly comfortable but I've seen him/her (not my cat, don't know which it is) in there on more than one occasion.

I'm calling it Positive Thinking* *


Ok, have at it.* Have fun.

Sara

Yay, people are finally posting. Now I don't have to post mine to get things started...I put the poor kitty in a blue (water) camo jacket. I think I'm going to have a hard time though...I like all three of the options already shown. Hope we get more to make my choice even tougher, I do love a challenge!

I call this image 'catnap'. This is what I think our cats dream of, so maybe yours do too

You are all nuts, no wonder I love this place! I'm leaving it open till late tonight (I'm on the west coast and usually manage to get back online around midnight) and then I'll pick a winner.

Well crum, now I'm really having a hard time (and didn't get back like I said I would either...sorry).

Ok, I kind of want to pick a couple winners!* I like Stephanie for the artistic value, but I like jetsprinter for getting the kitty out in the countryside (away from my barkdust where he/she likes to poo* > ) and making a dark photo with an angry looking cat look much more cheerful.* But, I also like how bavanor worked with the angry look and turned the cat into a bouncer (and cats actually do hate rabits as a general rule...and the other way around, so that would make him/her more angry* ).* I love all the other entries too, but I don't know.

Ok, I'm going to just do eenie-meenie-miney-mo and see which of the three I get.* I'll type the three, and whichever I point to wins.



Stephanie


Bavanor


Jetsprinter


Ok, and Stephanie it is!* **

Congratulations Stephanie
you'll have to tell me what you did to the picture to make it look actually nice!*

Sara - whew, that's over.* I don't like positions of power.* If I win some other time I'll have to step down and let the runner up take the title.* *

Aw, Thanks! I did some noise reduction, gamma levels, contrast (^) and adjusted the highlight intensity levels.
