It would nice if people could provide camera, lens and setting information after every picture. That way it would be easier for noobs to learn why lens and settings does what.
Shame the white on the cat is so dark, i really like it otherwise. The blurry leaves in the foreground nice touch like the cat is more submerged, the dirt on its neck is a bit off putting 8/10
I strongly dislike selective coloring. I would have liked the view to be more on the dogs level, instead of looking down on it. The stick and quizzical look on the dogs face definitely adds to the shot though. 7/10.
Shot using a Nikon D7000 Gripped, And an 80-200 2.8D lens, at ISO 250, 92mm, 1/400th of a second, and f2.8. Two Sb600's at half power each, into one reflective umbrella, aimed at the glass, and angled slightly back towards the camera. Setup on a reflective table.
I give this a 9/10. Beautiful! And I love how you posted your setup. I took 1 point away because I think there are too many reflections in the bottom of the glass (the white reflections not the yellow ones).
I witnessed this spider catch a fly. I discovered him on my coffee cup when I was outside taking flower pictures earlier this spring.
I'm going to increase that to a 7/10 largely because I really like how the spiders "eyes" seem to be the sharp focal point. The background is a little distracting however...
