if only the cat weren't blurry... I'd love to see detail in the fur.
04/21/2002 05:03:00 PM
a bit out of focus, and i would have liked to see the cat's face... even a bit.
04/21/2002 12:34:00 AM
Great perspective but the cat is a little out of focus as compared to the trees.
04/20/2002 09:26:00 PM
Cat appears out of focus. This was a hard shot to get. Maybe putting something where the cat was probably going to jump, to get the camera in focus, and then shooting.
04/20/2002 07:16:00 PM
The subject is out of focus.
04/20/2002 12:34:00 PM
trails in the cat's body?
04/20/2002 09:24:00 AM
Darned backgrounds!
04/20/2002 04:24:00 AM
Wow, I'm dizzy. Nice angle on this shot. Wish the cat was a tad clearer.
04/19/2002 11:36:00 AM
kitty is slightly fuzzy and I mean that in a blurred sense. The perspective is odd too.
The cammera appears to be pointing up but the cat seems to be sideways in relation to that..
Almost if it was thrown even though I can see the cat toy between its paws.The Perspective is confusing to me.
04/19/2002 09:40:00 AM
For this topic I would prefer if that cat was in focus and if I could see clearly that he was completly off the ground.
04/19/2002 09:11:00 AM
Really cool perspective, and cat torture is always a winner with me. Did you try any shots with the focus on the cat?
04/19/2002 07:25:00 AM
don't tell me how you did this. but the dizzying fall from the trees is a nice effect.
04/19/2002 06:58:00 AM
Good idea, but a little out of focus.
04/18/2002 08:14:00 PM
The cat is a little out of focus but this is still a cute photo.
04/18/2002 05:58:00 PM
Go kitty go! Nice angle. All the limbs kinda take away from kitty's sharpness, though (not that fur is real sharp).
04/18/2002 05:05:00 PM
The cat is very blurry and distracting. I do, on the other hand, think the way the branches cross is cool
04/18/2002 01:29:00 PM
Let me guess - "No animals were harmed in the making of this image?" :?) Judging from the chromatic abberations, I'm guessing this was taken with a G1?
04/18/2002 12:05:00 PM
The trees seem to be in sharp focus and not the the cat, nice concept tho.
04/18/2002 08:04:00 AM
The camera autofocused on the distracting background instead of on the cat. A good idea, but much better if the subject were in focus rather than the background.
04/17/2002 11:29:00 PM
nice, but blurry
04/17/2002 06:33:00 PM
I wish the cat was in focus.
04/17/2002 05:19:00 PM
Unusual angle, but would have worked better with the focus on the cat rather than the trees
04/17/2002 10:43:00 AM
funny title. did you throw the cat into the air? good angle.
04/17/2002 09:57:00 AM
Good picture! Too bad you couldn't get the cat more centered. Nice title.
04/17/2002 03:32:00 AM
very well captured but either cat out of focus or not stopped dead - more like the latter as part of cat's collar is reasonably sharp.
04/16/2002 08:53:00 PM
Nice Tree .... but the cat is out of focus
04/16/2002 05:10:00 PM
nice, good pic
04/16/2002 04:36:00 PM
Your subject is out-of-focus. ;-)
04/16/2002 03:18:00 PM
To see where we have been and to know where we are going, suspended between here and there, yet occasionally falling short..... Plunging back to earth on burnt wings only to try again and, eventually, succeeding.

I can't tell if the subject is out of focus or if that is just his hair. What a fun shot.
04/16/2002 12:17:00 PM
Would have given this a higher score, but needed the focus to be on the cat -- also want to see the cat's head/face
04/16/2002 11:35:00 AM
Fun! I wish fluffy had a little more light on him/her. Good compostion and great timing. Bet it took a lot of shots to get this.
04/16/2002 07:59:00 AM
stop tormenting your cat!!! :) the focus seems slightly off on this pic - almost like it is on the trees. Would liked to have seen the whole cat, and a less busy background if possible
04/16/2002 06:40:00 AM
I relly liked the background but the cat was to blurred.
04/16/2002 12:19:00 AM
Beautiful shot of the tress. The cat is blurry
04/15/2002 08:39:00 PM
Cool shot, the angle allows a viewer to not have the slightest clue about how high off the ground this cat really is.
04/15/2002 06:35:00 PM
Fuzzy, so to speak.
04/15/2002 05:44:00 PM
Good idea. Cat not quite in focus
04/15/2002 12:48:00 PM
This is a cool photograph but the camera beat you up on it. Your metering didn't catch the cat as the subject of the photo and the focus/depth of field is off because of it. The cat should be more in focus and the rest of the photo should be more blurry.
04/15/2002 12:41:00 PM
Wish the cat instead of the background were in focus!
04/15/2002 11:59:00 AM
If only it'd been in better focus! You have the exposure right, it's just the cat's too damn fast.
04/15/2002 11:40:00 AM
I wanted to get a shot like this, but couldn't. Excellent timing and composition. Manual focus could have improved this if you have that option. Even without the best focus, it gets a 10 from me.
04/15/2002 11:34:00 AM
Kind of out of focus.
04/15/2002 11:27:00 AM
I like the angle. The cat is a bit out-of-focus, but I know (from experience!) that it is near impossible to get proper focus on an animal in motion, so I'm not going to cut much on that.
04/15/2002 10:59:00 AM
Bit blurred/ out of focus. Nice idea.
04/15/2002 10:10:00 AM
Great idea and angle. Shame that the cat is not more in focus.
04/15/2002 09:21:00 AM
the cat being in focus could have made this a ten
04/15/2002 09:19:00 AM
Really cool angle and composition. But it looks a tad bit blurry.
04/15/2002 08:28:00 AM
Nice concept, but I wish the cat and its thing were more focused. I can't tell what it has ...
04/15/2002 07:43:00 AM
this would have been great if the cat was in focus
