I like it.

There's some nice and subtle things going on with the petals on the 
flower. I had to stare at it a moment to satisfy myself that there was 
no subsurface scattering going on. I think what's happening is that 
there's some small irregularities in the geometry that show up as faint 
patterns, along with with a tiny hint of specular highlighting. Whatever 
it is, it's not immediately noticeable, but very nice once you do notice it.

The vase is great. Isosurface?

I almost missed the cat's tail thanks to my window being sized too 
small. It's perhaps a bit too bushy to be realistic, but I think I like 
it better this way. :-) I especially like the stray brown hairs on the 
top that point leftwards. What macro did you use for the hair?

If this is random and meaningless, I'm curious what happens when you 
produce something serious and meaningful. :-)

    This offended Michel's sense of meaning, but there was nothing to be 
done about that, except to alter Michel's sense of what was meaningful.
