What a pretty cat! The background being so far behind her works to allow the detail in her fur to show up nicely. It looks as if she is fully charged.

That's one serious looking cowboy. I completely understand how hard it is to get them to stay still, even for a quick shot. The background isn't too much of an issue for me and darkening or blurring may help.

lovely warmth and sophistication to this image and the way you handled PP...the lighting is so sweet!
i love these little milkweeds, one of the bestt things about this time of year.

the dark smudge in the bg right distracts by pulling my eye away from the silkies in the pod

Lovely detail Pat. I think this is quite brilliant especially the rustic colours in the pod and stem complimented with the beautiful DOF.

The 'annoying one' who is sitting beside me, nagging, whinging and moaning to get on 'MY' computer wishes to make a brief comment on this image too!

This is from the 'annoying one' roz -
HI PAT .. i was walking past greg while he was on HIS computer and noticed this photograph on the screen .. i was blown away, figuratively speaking of course .. lol .. lame as .. !!!
its so beautiful pat .. i love the sepia tones and the excellent details in the pod .. it looks almost humanized in a way .. like a person,a child even .. with arms waving around ..
anyway .. now to have a word with greg about the derogatory comments he was making about me ..
i'd like to see him go without his computer for a full week ..
mind you .. he's been absolutely wonderful letting me use it heaps of the time when i'm sure he's wanting to use it too .. he's just lovely .. :)
ps .. i had to say all that in case he reads it .. lol ..

roz editing to say .. its actually three weeks without my computer coz it was away for two weeks a couple of weeks ago .. :)
