Originally posted by posthumous: nice use of DOF to point our attention to the pastel elements: the eyes and nose. It also somehow conveys the almost desperate neediness of a kitten. I gave this a 7, and I want to know your secret for getting a 6 out of DPC with such a creative picture.

Thanks...no secret, really...I figured this one for a 5.1 or 5.2 because it's a kitten. I used to think I had DPC voters figured out, but that is far from the truth. I have no idea what they want from challenge to challenge. I just take pictures I like now, and if it fits, all the better. :) The biggest challenge with this picture was getting Sugar to sit still for a few moments while I focused. Now THAT was a challenge!! :)
