I had to smile when I read your comments re the 'cropped ear,' for I like what it does to the negative space, too, & also the effect it has on the edge of the comp. Nobody said anything about the cropped whiskers, but I like that, too. The framing adds to the immediacy of the shot & complements the alert, serious face. The catchlights in the eyes give a slightly sleepy twist to the expression. IMO all cats are philosophers--I feel much more philosophical whenever I look at a cat!

Hello Jan, I am one of your 10 votes. This is technical perfection, but that is not what motivated my score. It was the feeling of Silence. The inward-turning silence that makes me conscious of how much noise my life makes & at the same times connects me to everything that is wonderful & unknowable. I like the layers of light, too, it seems to get more heavenly nearer the windows (must be why church ceilings are so high). I have never tried this kind of shot, but it looks fearsomely difficult. In its genre, I think it would compare very well, your church-interior photog peers would be proud of you. I don't comment during voting because I like to get a sense of who the photog is before I risk a comment. Head up, tail up, & keep on clickin'!

I really hoped better for this shot. It shows the power & personality of the cat in a way that no perfectly exposed, razor-sharp shot could ever hope to do. Your use of the camera to convey motion & emotion rather than the details of reality is masterful. Good for you. I was one of your 10s & one of your favs. Rock on!
