| This is really a great capture. I might've lightened the eyes up just a tad in photoshop. |

Hi All.... Thanks for the many kind words...
I'd like to say that I am a photographer with a talent for exceptional timing and a creative eye... but if I am I didn't really use it for this entry :-)
I was testing out my Bigma (50-500) and my cat happened to be sitting conveniently 20 yards away on a bench... I took a couple of shots from cover but was spotted... hence the pissed expression. (He really hates having a camera pointed at him and 80% of my shots turn out to be of the other end of him as he walks away!!)
One of three shots produced this entry and to be 100% honest it was only as I sat browsing through my weekend shots that I checked to see if I had a 'fit' to a challenge. I thought the mid-lick might qualify for stopped motion.
1/250, ISO 800, 500mm, Canon 5D, Sigma 50-500
Post Processing: RAW - Photoshop CS2 - Desaturate, Tone, Square Crop, Re-size, Sharpen and Save for Web.
Thanks Again...

| Love the square crop. That's got to be one of the thickest cat tongues I've every seen although I'm sure it's just the angle of it. |

| Cat lovers will be all over this one! ;^) Myself included. Great detail and I like your choice to go B/W tone. How in the world did you get this shot anyway? Just wait? After feeding? Hmmm. Well, I hope this does well for you. No, it's not as high tech or as fancy as some of the light bulb or splash shots, but it's fun...so good luck. |

| 6/7/6..7 - Good capture. Even more 'stopped motion' and little less 'blown' make this even better in my opinion, but you likely know all that. Good composition with the square crop - wish it were 640. |
