You did a good job with this. There is alot to look at. Im not sure what but something seems alittle off in the background. But other then that it is awesome and i only mention it because i like to try and leave something to work on whenever i post.

I love these kinds of pictures, where it is a mostly black and white with a splash of color

its probably because i have never been able to master the effect but you do it very nicley!

I agree with milo....there is something off in the back but i cant quite put my finger on it....awesome pic all the same it gets a 9 from me and goes into my favs!

There doesn't seem to be enough room on the window ledge or table top for the cat to be laid out behind it but I can't fault it for that because this is all about perception and what you think you see. This is wonderful work, Welcome

Ahh, i think dreamer hit it. I think that is probably what i was noticing. I agree with them though. Can't really fault you on that.

The gallery's first page opened and I saw your image first, or was drawn to it, initially ...

Love the image, except (sorry, yes, there is an exception) ... the presence of the cat. Although ... although, I do think I understand what you were trying to accomplish at first, and rather clever, I might add ... the photo becomes too busy and detracts from ...

The incredible detail you did capture of the bottle ...
The feel or atmosphere conveyed by the background ...
The overall composition which; even in spite of my 'constructive criticism,' I would have to say is quite excellent.

A bit more work on the fish and lose the cat, if I may be so bold, and you have a spectacular image, worthy of anyone's favs or of any gallery.

I must say that this has to my favorite picture on this site! I would never have guessed that you used FOUR pictures to put this together, it looks quite realistic, to me anyways...
The cat's eyes are gorgeous, the perfect green.
The only thing I would consider (maybe) is to work on the fish. It doesnt look quite right somehow. It doesnt really look that alive... maybe just find a different fish. But that's just my idea. But even if you dont change it, it's still a great picture. Love it!

This is superb work - it is an excellent concept and nicely executed. The two areas of colour work perfectly. Well done.

I LOVE IT!!!! I really wish you hadn't told me it was more than 1 photo. I'd never have known. It's very cute. It captures the curiosity of a cat perfectly. Thanks for cheering me up. :) I give it a 10 for cute and it's a definite keeper. Sarah

I love the whole thing, I love the prescence of the cat, at first glace I thought you had it trapped in the bottle with the fish ! Very creative & I have it in my favs. Sarah's right, it's a keeper for sure !!

Very cool manip...but the fish doesn't look distorted enough to be inside that glass. You did the right kind of distortion with the cat, but ti doesn't look so with the fish. Also, not that this adds or detracts to anything, but is that bottle even filled with water? Doesn't look like it :P

Im liking the selective coloring, pretty sweet manip, a classic thing to do but never gets old, i like the effects on the cat as well. But the first comment had a point, the background looks kind of grainy

I'm curious too. I don't care if the composition of the manipulation leaves a question because this is not about the reality of whether or not it could be a real occurrance but rather the technical construction. I have recently become adicted to PhotoFilter and I'd like to know what program you used to create this technical marvel. Thanks. Jean aka hewymom

This is very interesting, caught my attention right away. I love it and think it's perfect just the way it is. I like to see the beauty in the flaws of everything and as I was reading through all other's comments, I think all the "flaws" with this photo if you want to call them that make it even better.....perhaps you didn't want the photo to look "perfect"...?? Just my thoughts..

This is a great picture!! The blends you did come together really beautifully plus looks natural. The contrast of black and white with the fish and the cats' eyes are pretty cool.

Excellent manipulation in this image. Good creative idea. Love the way the cats eyes and the fish are in vibrant colors and the rest in B&W. It looks like the cat is in the bottle..cute. Nicely done lowkey background. Great job you've done!

Hi me personally like this picture i read some of the other comments and i agree with some of them and disagree with some of them i dont agree with taking out the cat i think it kinda belongs there i agree with the fish thing it really doesnt look all that alive.....to me i really liked this picture and i think you were very creative, but maybe some adjustments can be made but i think its creative beacuse you used and bottle type of bowl ratherthan a circle bowl and i like the black and white and gray look and the few colors spots add a little more to the picture

My first reaction was it's a funny and cute picture, but upon closer inspection, it's quite a serious situation (poor fish). Overall, very clever composition and effect.
