Now I remember why I was so glad to finish my 365 project. The pressure of getting a good shot for the theme can really get you down.
Last week's Paint the Moon theme was "framed." I had a few good ideas but they all required lots of natural light. Of course, the only time I'm home when there's light coming through the windows is on the weekend, so I had to wait until then. I was pretty busy so by the time I settled down to try out my ideas it was already late Sunday afternoon, the last day to post my photo. Turns out all of my ideas were horrible failures so I found myself rushing around in the rapidly dying light trying to come up with another idea. Any idea would do, really. So this is what I came up with at the last minute. I don't think poor little Punky will ever forgive me for this indignity.
And before you go thinking she's an unnaturally patient and willing model, I will confess that there was a little Photoshop magic involved. I actually took the picture holding the glasses up a few inches in front of her face, then put the glasses down and took a few pictures so I could edit my hand out. I know from the time I tried to make her wear a chicken hat that she is not at all cooperative about wearing a costume. I do still feel a little guilty about this:

photoshop or not, cats in costumes rock!
And a great job with photoshop, too. I'll admit it. After I read what you did, I was looking closely to see if I could figure what started where.
I know what you mean about the light. It seems I'm always trying to take pics for the blog at the wrong time. Of course my crappy little camera doesn't help the situation either.
