I really like the way you used the narrow DOF to draw attention to the
cat's eye.

Just a lovely landscape. I like how the channel in the marsh leads the

out of all the great shots, but this month, Duck! by Max McRae

I though I would actually count. I was wondering if the BW gallery had

I would also add a smile for Thomas Stach's shot which made me laugh out
