1. Difficult choice

I had to go with Ziggy in the end. (I'm not sure, but does that need to be rotated about one or two degrees counter clockwise? It's kind of a hard call).

4. That IS the rotated version of that photo.

It's the angle that's it's taken, kind of fish-eye-ish, that defies any real straightening. I took it about 10 years ago, back when L'il ZiggyDoo was still with us and his boy was still in junior high. I enlarged it back then intending to frame it but have never been able to set it in the mat so it doesn't look crooked. :(

12. Maybe a perspective correction would fix that?

Something along the lines of

13. Ms. Toad said the same thing in a pm to me.

I never knew there was such a thing as a "perspective fixing tool," but I'm going to look for it in the manual when I get a minute. Thanks for the tip--Zig looks more comfortable already! :hi:

[Boo_Radley]

14. It's a super-cool tool.

Not flawless, of course. But super-cool, just the same.

I just noticed in that quick demonstration I did, that I forgot to correct the perspective on the right.

2. I'm a cat person...

what can I say? I love the literate cat.

3. Add a cat to a good picture...

...and it becomes a great picture.

5. Two responses in favor of the cat.

And yet... there's only one vote for Le Chat Literate. Things that may you say "Hmmm..."

[GOPFighter]

11. Well, I liked your horsey picture even better than the cat...

:shrug:

6. This is from a great bookstore in Northampton, MA.

They always have two or three cats roaming the store or sleeping in the big sunny windows. I've always wondered about people with cat allergies walking in unawares, perhaps through the windowless, sunless back entrance. Just another useless thing for me to waste time worrying about!

7. Ben on spin cycle

A cute dog, action shot, water... a sure finalist!

8. I voted for Ben

but Ziggy was a close second. Wonderful phots--all of them.

[intheflow]

9. Ben On Spin it is!

Thanks for playing, Y'All! :hi:

10. Glad you picked one because there

was no way I could of. They are all good and for different reasons. All these are great pics ITF.
