Zach my cat really did all the work for this photo. He somehow managed to get into the collapsed patio umbrella while I was working in the yard. All I had to do was grab my camera and take the photo.

This photo is almost exactly as it came out of the camera - it was cropped slightly and had a small adjustment made to darken the highlights to bring out a little more detail, otherwise it is as Zach and I invisioned.

Pets are great subjects especially when they are as eccentric as this nice cat!

I loved the thumb-nail of this great image, so I am sure to love the image when blown up, to better viewing size.....and I do.

An excellent pet shot, and usually I don't favor these, but a great catch! Good luck with this entry!

Wow. A pet photo that I really like. Nice. A tiny shame about the slight blowout on the left paw. Great texture and tones. 9/10

Very cute animal portrait and deftly executed as well. The lack of a strong color contrast makes me wonder if this would be even better in black and white.

hehe, a funny shot, but could use better lighting and a little more color and contrast.

What a sweet photo. I like the lighting. I'm curious what this would look like as a black and white with a bit more contrast. Added to my fav's :-) 8

Little does she know, when she opens the Umbrella next time, down will fall on her the little present I just left inside.


She looks as though she is ready to jump out at you any moment. Very clear and crips, nice shot.
