Thank you! But it's a photomanipulation, not a photo.

I like the black and white - gives it a certain charm. This confuses me - I thought that we couldn't use a dog or cat *with* a crow? Or just not of the required stock images?

Oh, this is something I did last year, and it's just showing you a deviation that had at least one familiar. Of course, in this one, it is the cat. If the cat wasn't there, then it would be the crow.

Thank you for the explanation. I've never done much in black and white - might have to give it a try.

Thank you! And what a wonderfully wicked feature! Some of those I've yet to , so I did while I was there. I really appreciate you featuring one of my favorite Halloween deviations ever.

I really do like this. One of your best this year. Only suggestion might be a little more selective shadow and burn work

Thank you for such a nice complement. I wish I had you standing behind me to explain what you mean by "selective shadow and burn work". I thought I was putting in the shadows correctly, but that doesn't mean that I did. You're the first to mention anything about the shadows. I want to fix them, but I'm not sure what to do.

Wonderful scene and I love the use of black and white! The story is awesome, too - I'd love to know what the cat has to say!

TheFantaSim In reply to Cynnalia [2010-10-19 12:56:55 +0000 UTC]
I started to have the cat say something. Creating the scene made me think of Sabrina, The Teenage Witch, and how her cat talked to her.

I love that little girl witch . she is so superbly cute !!I think It was a nice toutch making this in black and white !
The house looks a bit off though. It looks like it's a tiny little house somehow. I would suggest youblur it a bit to make it look farther away . Great work as usual my friend !
Good luck in the challenge !

Someone else said something about the house, but wasn't as clear as you are. Thanks! I'll go back and blend it more into the background. I think I did forget to blur it like I did everything else in the background.

Nice mood. The scene is very cute. Black and white is a good idea.
I'm somewhat mixed up by the house, I don't know exaclty at which level it stays.

I wasn't quite sure what you meant, but someone mentioned blurring it out some, and I realized that I may have forgotten to do that. I really worked hard to get it "grounded", but blurring it definitely needs.

I'm so surprise that you like it, but it really makes me happy. I know you usually don't like "cute" stuff.
