The Cat and The Moon
by mlynn

"...Minnaloushe runs in the grass
Lifting his delicate feet.
Do you dance, Minnaloushe, do you dance?
When two close kindred meet,
What better than call a dance?
...Minnaloushe creeps through the grass
Alone, important and wise,
And lifts to the changing moon
His changing eyes." W.B. Yeats (1918)

For me, this version is better. The Moon is now a supportive element to the whole picture. You were right: the Moon can not be wiped out like this. -Stéphane

Fantatstic post processing (the fine pics help also).

Thank you everybody for your comments. Stephane, I appreciate your comment about the moon; but decided not to remove it, as it's part of the story :). I did change its blending mode however, and hope it fits better with the rest of the image now. I may think of other changes later. Melanie

Melanie, you are a Photoshop wizard! Your skills and creative talent continue to amaze me.---Deb

This is an incredible composition. The elements are so well juxtaposed… I am very impressed. It’s like a LSD hallucination ;) I like your art, your style Melanie. No * but I will take a chance… IMO, the Moon is more distracting than useful in this picture. -Stéphane

Very good post processing work. I like the composition of the elements and the moody colors. And I love cats :) -Arn

Melanie, an oustanding allegorical piece. I delight in the details of this image; grasses mimic fur, moon reflected in pupil, cat as geography of the moon, etc. The verse and image are really expressive together. -Michael
