Stan, Variation 1 is a big improvement--the original was crooked and had too much distracting stuff (like the chicken and the tea kettle). #1 really shows the cat and his/her/its concentration beautifully. Rick http://photo.net/photos/RickW --- On Sun, 3/29/09, Stan Halpin

I agree with JC. If you look at the thumbnail on the right of the gallery, you can see that the cat is right in the center of a square thumbnail. It does look nice. -Pasvorn On Sun, Mar 29, 2009 at 7:19 PM, JC OConnell hifis...@gate.net wrote: I meant that centering the cat would only work

And you call yourself a bird watcher! Or are you just too involved to notice lowly chickens? So maybe my monitor is still too bright, meaning shots viewed on normal monitors show up as too dim. I really should try this calibration thing I have heard about... stan On Mar 30, 2009, at 8:02

Variation 3 is my favorite, but I'm a totally in the box thinker... I never even noticed the chicken in the original post :-( maybe because it was so dark or because I have no artistic vision... Stop listening to me... -- Christian http://404mohawknotfound.blogspot.com/ Stan Halpin
