Disqualified in the photo contest

In summary, someone else took the photo you wanted to enter in the You're So Cold contest, you've already submitted one but have others that fit the theme you want to share, or you've previously touched up the photos with some editing software.

That cat looks demented - a real ankle-shredder!

Larkspur, you should send that to mycathatesyou.com.

*throws down the bag of treats and backs slowly away from Larkspur's cat*

Does your cat actually have something wrong with its eyes, or is that some illusion created by the camera flash or angle?

I think I caught her at the beginning of a yawn.:biggrin:

I have one too, forgot the flash though.

I was tickling his feet. (just kidding)

Although not as good as Larkspur's :smile:

Edit: geez, my cat used to be fat.

Yes, she has ocular albinism complete with esotropia (crossed eyes) and nystagmus (eyes shake). She probably has around 20/800 vision at best.

I used the photo for my e-Christmas cards that year. She doesn't look so mean like this does she? Just drunk or stoned...:biggrin:

Lol, I just got up and that picture of your cat is still hillarious. I think the little grin is the funniest part. Nice christmas card idea. :-)

That is why I couldn't use mine because I had to paint over the red border from the Christmas card version.

I thought this one was a much more interesting shot all around, but Evo threw a fit, and made me go with the other one.

I mean, really: kicking, screaming, waving her little fisties in the air...it was quite the scene.

I agree with Evo the other one is better.:approve:

What follows aren't actually pictures I took, but I'm including it here because they're obviously the inspiration for Zz's title of the current contest (Straight and Narrow).

Behold the miraculous anthraquinone cargo (CO2) carriers "walking the straight and narrow" over a Cu(111) substrate!

Still nice, but I like the B+W one better. The sharpness and depth of field make her face stand out from the background, and the background colors are eliminated, so the out of focus trees and weeds don't compete. I'm going to have to at least start composing my pix with B+W in mind, even if I shoot in color. Great job!
 
  • #166
I agree, I am suprised I like the B/W one better, I've never bothered converting something to B/W before but I might start doing it more.
 
  • #167
This B&W was taken by my daughter for her photography class during here Junior year in High school. Of course it was not eligible for the contest, But I thought it was good enough to share:

In post 37 of the
sunset thread I was whining about suburan sunset shots. I had this sunset in mind when I made that post. I have to admit that when I took it I was wishing that I had a better view. This was taken Thanksgiving of '05 and I had not really really revisited it since. I rediscovered it while looking for other pics.

While I recogized the validity of SpaceTigers reply, I felt that there were limits.

I retrospect I wish I had entered this photo. :cry: :cry:

This one would have been a contender, I think. Beautiful colors.

Very nice Integral! Actually - OUTSTANDING!

I shot this while waiting at an airport. It was nearly sunset.
