hey jason .. wot a gorgeous photograph .. so cat like !!! ... i can almost feel the warmth ... i'm smiling looking at this cat .. he looks so relaxed and comfortable ..
and yes, the votes from free studies are particularly harsh ... i wonder why i go in them at all !! .. i was thinking the cow and calf would get a high 5 and thats wot it got so i'm not unhappy .. i reckon this deserves more than a 5.5 tho . ..:)

I love the closed eyes - that kind of says it all. I think this would look pretty cool in black and white.

WOW

great image, priceless capture. I like the balance of the black to the white and the border is very helpful for the image.

only reason to vote it down around here is that it is of a cat, and we have seen lots of pictures of cats
this isn't just average though, good job!

my first 10 of the challenge!
