Great shot, excellent color and sharpness. There is something that bothers me about the composition, but I can't figure out what. Maybe trim a little off the right, but that is just picking nits. I wouldn't worry about the ear, that's what it took to put the eye at the right height. On May 8,

Okay, normally cat shots leave me kind cold -- but this one is different because the cat is doing something different. Good one, good focus too (sharp hairs, blurred background). Marnie aka Doe :-) In a message dated 5/12/2013 3:17:17 A.M. Pacific Daylight Time, l...@red4est.com writes:

Thank you, Marnie! Catching a cat doing anything at all is to catch one doing something different, I reckon. :) -- Walt On 5/12/2013 9:21 AM, eactiv...@aol.com wrote: Okay, normally cat shots leave me kind cold -- but this one is different because the cat is doing something different.

Thanks, Larry. I know exactly what you mean about the composition. I fussed with it for a few minutes, myself, trying to figure out how to present it. In hindsight, I think I might have been better off going with a vertical orientation. Thanks for the input. -- Walt On 5/12/2013 5:16 AM,

Thanks, Paul. As an artist, I feel it's my duty to subvert conventions like the anti-feline zeitgeist that currently rules photography. ;) -- Walt On 5/10/2013 6:00 AM, Paul Stenquist wrote: Excellent. Fun stuff. On May 10, 2013, at 2:22 AM, Tim Bray tb...@textuality.com wrote: That

This is a very friendly stray that hangs out at a little concessions stand I visit regularly. I'd just bought a soft-serve ice cream cone, but the kid at the stand wasn't too adept at making them. So, when I walked away, all the ice cream on top of the cone just kind of fell over. Fortunately,

That's good, Walt. I like the detail and the light. Might have liked to see more ear, but that would alter the compo a lot, so I dunno. Keep her in cream and I'm sure she'll model more for you. On Wed, May 8, 2013 at 12:03 PM, Walt ldott...@gmail.com wrote: This is a very friendly stray that

Thanks, Bruce. For what it's worth, I feel exactly the same about the ear. I'm sure I'll be back to take another whack at it, but I promise not to inflict the results on the rest of the group. -- Walt On 5/8/2013 1:15 PM, Bruce Walker wrote: That's good, Walt. I like the detail and the
