Thanks to everyone that participated in this round and special thanks to

people that wrote comments.



Referring to my image:  The EXIF is complete with the exception that I had
a 
12mm extension tube on to get closer. The intent was an image that mad you

look at the central eye, explore the rest of the image, but then be drawn 
back to the eye, you know the cat’s point of viewing. The strong diagonal 
line formed by the ear fur, the eye, his nose and the light colored bit of

blanket; the white eyebrow whiskers redirecting your view to the central 
eye.  I have to admit is does look a bit more daunting as a 12x18 inch 
print, and it is hard to get that to translate to the computer screen.  I 
knew full well that this would be a love it or hate it picture.



Annika – I have four cats I do not need another cat.

Wilba – The entire point was an “eye” composition, the rest of the image
is 
just context and framing. The intent was to engage the eye and little
else…

Doug Jewell - He certainly thinks he has attitude.  He also thinks he’s a 
dog. He tries to herd the other cats and wants to go out with the other 
“dogs.”

Tully – His claws are far more dangerous than anything I’ve see come out
of 
his eye; He is a great mouser.

Helen – You are far too kind, especially for someone that keeps stealing
the 
show. :-)

Paul Furman - You pretty much nailed his personality; he used to ride the 
dogs when he was smaller.  Somehow I don’t see the current chocolate lab 
putting up with that today.
