    I hate you...



    less for the critique, though always welcome, and more for the grin factor I present Wendy in her freshly washed fur.

    Mission accomplished! I got a pretty good laugh out of that.

    I like the orange color all through the image. Pretty cool.

    Oh I do love it! It is hard to capture truly humorus photos but this is sure one! Good work Paul, and I really needed a good grin after having a fight with my desktop computer!

    Very nice! It's great to see a cat shot that isn't cutesy and cliche.

    Cool

    Really cool photograph, the cat is a natural for the camera. Wonderful colors and details. Excellent shot.

    This made my day! I love it. I have 2 cats myself - one I have given a bath to - so I can get a really good chuckle out of this image.

    I think you should submit this somewhere (cat magazine?) for publication - it's really great. Perfect colors.......and the look! My o My!

    I agree with Liz -- you should try to get that published. Actually, both of them. I would buy a greeting card/postcard/calendar with images like that on it! And I don't even have a cat.

    Thanks for the laugh.

    Even better again !! how do you wash your cat? I read of a couple that put shampoo into thair loo bowl and then chuck the cat in after that.They then stand on the lid and flush.Next they clear an escape route before jumping of the lid and running for their lives !! ha ha ha i can imagine why.

    Wonderful photo.
    If you were after laughs - it worked immediately !
    That look proves that cat bathing is a martial art.
    It's a great 'bad fur day' photo for cat lovers.

    Another great one......please get these published - and send us a copy of wherever it ends up. ;) A calendar would be great.

    I agree with Lara - please let us see him all dry and brushed - or however he looks when he isn't coming from his bath.

    Beautiful cat - how old is he?

    Also - what equipment are you using?

    Re: I hate you...

    Once again thanks and I'll see what I can do about getting it published, though at a loss as where to start.

    I will try to dig up pics of Wendy in her dry fluffy beauty, though being a Persian she has a perpetualy pissed off look 24/7. Perhaps that has something to do with the bi-weekly baths. Starts off in the shower, gets a deep wash cycle in a big bucket and then towel dry...

    These pictures were taken with my D70 (still learning) using JPEG Fine (have since started working in NEF). Light conditions werent ideal so I backed off to F4.5, ISO 800 and 1/25 exposure. I wish I had the speedlight back then!

    Re: I hate you...

    I think the first is fantastic...but the sheer disgust on her feline face is well PERFECT....these don't get better....oh my goodness. Glad you were chsen for featured photo.

    I agree with the commnets on how well the ornage plays off her lovely(wet) fur....

    great shot and great timing on both

    This was a great photo! Wonderful color and depth! It made me think of my orange cat that I lost a few years ago and what he would have looked like wet! Thanks for sharing it! Raggs
