Oh that's wild. Makes me think of an old asylum with a single wall phone. It's CRAZY!!! I like the blur.

I'd like to say how much I like the photograph but I know who this gentleman is, so all I can feel when I look at it is anxiety.

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!

I hate "shame about" comments, as if the composition couldn't possibly have been intended. I entered the last pet portrait challenge with a cropped ear kitty, so I'm part of the club too!

I rated this one of my 9s - I liked her direct and serious gaze, just a tad pissed off. Lighting highlights in the eyes are very nice.

Well - this is a fantastic photo. I can't believe the cropped ear issue - I mean, come ON. I agree that it gives the image a kick, as opposed to being your standard stock photo crap we see here all the time. *huff*puff*
