Oh, man, this could so easily have been a ribbon winner. I love the dramatic "X"!

Terrific photo. Congrats on the ribbon. The winter weather and the different composition make this a totally different photo from your previous effort.

Congratulations on the ribbon. I especially like the rainy highlights around his body. One of these days your kids are going to start demanding modeling fees. :-)

Nice shot -- it glows with light and color. When I was a boy my dad owned a bookshop. I went through all the Hardy Boy books -- before they had been "modernized." I started with the ones owned by my older brothers, and eventually fleshed out the collection with my own. And when I was done with Frank & Joe, I read my sister's collection of Nancy Drew books!

Congratulations on the birth of this alpaca baby. I've never seen one in person.

Sorry to hear about the DQ (disqualification). I liked this one very much.

Milk. There's nothing like it.

Hehe. Joker.

I think what kept me from scoring this higher than I did (which was 8) was the cat's body language. On first impression it seemed the cat did not want to be there and was looking at the milk suspiciously.

PS:

Same Siamese? :-)

I knew this would be a posthumous award winner the minute I saw it! Poor kid -- I hope your "sprog" feels better soon.

Nice pose! Really interesting story, too.

I got escorted out of the local Marriott Marquis when taking photos for the recent architecture challenge. Technically it was private property, despite the large open public areas. I'll spare you the blow-by-blow description, but it was an unpleasant experience. I contributed to the general mood by getting defensive. Looks like you had a better handle on things.
