Uh - huh as I first suspected - looks like a dry solder joint causing the problem here . . I should be able to get this fixed just as soon as I can grow some opposable thumbs to hold the soldering iron safely . .
Love it! Those intent eyes, those whiskers thrust forward, what a great moment. Wonderful lighting! I know how hard it can be to properly expose white fur, and you've nailed it here Deb!
it's a very nice shot, but it does not convey a lot of action, more like curiosity and contemplation... so I am not sure it would do well in the challenge... of course I've been wrong before :)
