I kinda agree with WANDM. Yeah Joardy noticed the pic but apparently the subject matter escaped him! Dude why don't you do us all a favor and avoid commenting on cat pictures entirely. Evidently they bother you and you can't relate to them. It's not a problem there are plenty of other things to comment upon. Sorry but I offered my 50 cents worth both here and at the gallery. Here is what I said. "Jordy. Sigh. I read your critique - BUT I really wonder if you get the point of the picture at all! The point was that this cat setteled down and went to sleep on the side walk - cracked pavement ect. Maybe she could have touched out the sidewalk but what would be the point. I think you are trying too hard. Yes there is light but I hardely think it is too bright. Now for my two cents. I wish the picture was no so close. I think it would look better to see the entire cat. Otherwise it seems fine to me. Bsteph" Jordy. I KNOW you stated that her moving the cat would not work because the cat would probably leave. SO why comment that you disliked the location of the cat at all!? After all she can't move it! I guess you could have commented that the background is too harsh and she maybe should replace it with grass of something via PS. However I think the harsh ground was her point. The sunlight...Well what can I say I didn't think it was that bright. I didn't see any blown out section soo it must be alright. Nevertheless you feelings and impressions are valid because it is your impression. I guess to me it's silly to make the critique 'The sky is too dark' when the subject is a picture of the moon. Bsteph
