It was a cat photo; that's enough for me! I think all pet photos should carry a warning in the subject line: [pet]. That way I could bin them more easily! I have no doubt that some of them are excellent photos but they simply do not interest me. Keith McG Cotty wrote: On 7/7/06, Shel

Shel, I'm not much into cat photos, but I have to say, this one is wonderful. I think the reason it works so well for me, is that it is not just a picture of a pretty cat, but more of a statement and story. The technical quality is great as always, and is making me want to get one of those K

Hi Bruce, Thanks for your comments. I don't really see this as a cat photo so much as a photo in which there are cats. Perhaps that's splitting hares. I'm thinking that I'd like to go back to the SPCA and perhaps do a series on these creatures, but their situation tears at my heart ... still

I don't know if it's would have been possible, but I would have liked to seen this framed in the portrait orientation. With the shot as taken, the image of those cute, but sad looking, fur balls and the inclusion of the Animal ID tag has me wishing I could read more of it know more about them.

If the photo was taken in portrait orientation most of the paperwork would be lost, as would some details of what's in the cage, but then you'd have more to complain about ;-)) Hmmm ... maybe that's a fair trade off LOL What more do you need to know? The basic info is there for you. Thanks
