Pierre,

I would love to take credit for the fantastic work of art, but I cannot. It's a 1910 painting by Henri Rousseau. All that I did - in keeping with the other 9 in this series - is add some out-of-place cats and let friends add titles or stories as they wish. I tried to be explicit about this in the description of the painting, but depending how photo.net displays this, and which device one views this on, the information about Henri Rousseau is not always displayed as clearly as I would like. I apologize for the confusion.

Peter.

Pierre -

Glad it was only a barracuda and not a shark. Lovely work (as always).

Félicitations. Biens à toi.

Peter.

Lovely portrait John.

I say portrait but this might just as easily have been some candid street photography, catching someone waiting for ...? A bus? A train? A second person who is late, again?

Nice work.

Regards,

Peter.

Tina,

A photo to make anyone smile.

:)

Nice.

Regards,

Peter.

These are surprisingly hard to photograph. Lovely. Well done.

Regards,

Peter.

George - I cannot take credit for the capture of the old west. It's an 1895 painting by Frederic Remington. My addition was to add the totally out-of-place cat waiting at the gate - for fun and to leave open the caption question for any creative minds. I had a fair number of caption responses mainly on Facebook to the entire series of "cat stuck into a painting."

My favourite response for this one, so far, is "I dunno Henry, it's a long ride every time cat wants in or out of the gate. Mebbe we could cut out some kind of flap thing for him."

Hi Bernado,

Thanks - but I can't take credit for the composition and colours. The image is a collage. The background is a painting by Australian painter Frederic McCubbin done in 1889. My only addition - for fun and to leave open the question of a caption - was to put an inappropriate cat image in the bottom left of the scene.

I've had various caption suggestions including:

a)

Man: No tucker tonight cat.

Cat: No worries. I already ate.

and

b)

Cat: He ate the dog last night, I wonder if I'm next.

Love it.

Regards,

Peter.

This is riveting. So many subtle emotions. Resignation. Tranquility. Humour. Patience.

Bravo.

Regards,

Peter.

Awesome work. Again!

Regards,

Peter.

Line, I love all your portrait work. They're superb.

Regards,

Peter.

Bruce,

In the wrong hands this subject matter would have been deadly dull. I love how you've avoided that. Great composition, great focus on what matters, great removal of what doesn't. Beautiful work. Congratulations.

Best wishes,

Peter.

Daniella,

Congrats. Lovely photo and very enigmatic too.

I'm caught trying to figure out the relationship between the horse (colt? pony?) and the two people. The woman in the foreground seems to have a close bond with the horse, but the girl (boy?) in the background seems left out.

I do like photos with open-ended questions like this.

Nicely done.

Regards,

Peter.

Renardido is perfectly captured. I've seen your colour versions, they are all good, but colour can sometimes distract. Here the mood seems to be anxiousness, and black and white plays very well to that.

Bravo.

Best wishes,

Peter.

Jamie

Dramatic and funny at the same time. A terrific capture.

Well done.

Regards,

Peter.

George,

This is riveting. I can feel the anger burning along the short fuse. The woman's face in the background adds to the suspense and the riddle.

Bravo.

Regards, Peter.

Ah Laurent, this feels like winter in Quebec. A very dramatic capture. I love it. Well done.

Best wishes, Peter.

OOooo! This is so good. Very nice work (as always), Gail.

Best wishes,

Peter.

Jacques,

Stunning portrait, love the colours, the way you captured the smoke, ... everything.

Regards,

Peter.
