I have Stocks and Shares in .....Kitty Litter.....Meeeeeow :]

That is allot of cats for one month.

Wow!!! What a collection!!!!!! I ADORE kitties, and yeah, there were a lot of purrrrrfectly fantastic kitty kat images this month!!!!! thanks for making this!!! you make all of us kat lovers verrrrry happy!!! meow

Now thats a PURR-fect collection of feline photos! L8r! Joe

Is this the cats from one MONTH or one WEEK? Shows a little excess doesn't it? It's great that people love their cats (I have 3 myself) but when snapshots are getting on to the gallery & getting votes & excellent ratings because of a cute cat (instead of rating the photo itself)- that's not art.

looks like one month... models can be hard to find, ...as well as a majority of unbiased pro critics... :]

I think the key term there is "critic"- as in one who critiques the artwork- right??? };-)

correct... one may not always like the subject but needs to look at the composition/technical skill/photo basics/difficulty/interest of a shot & be able to offer helpful suggestions for improvement with finesse... how many are really qualified to do that? there are a few, takes time... so take it with a pinch of salt & just have fun :]

That's my point, some of us comment on the actual artwork. However- it seems that the vast majority would rather just give the "friendly pat on the back" and not even say why the image is good, mediocre, or whatever. I'm not saying that everyone will like the basics of the photo itself, but being artists- we should be able to see what is good (or not) on the image and comment on it & back it up (or what would we do to improve it). If there is nothing that can be commented about, nothing needs to be said.
Notice I don't comment on everything I look at or every image that one of my "faves" posts. However, I enjoy appreciating & viewing most of the artwork- you don't see me negatively commenting on pieces I don't like, but I will say what needs improved on such an image. Artists seeing something they like or dislike should be able to be constructive about it. Take a look at other online galleries/communities- see how it's done.
BTW- I don't need the grain of salt because I was never ever offended by any comments of my works on here. (So far) they have all either been positive or constructive.

pepper? :o))))
