I'm not a cat person but this is really fine photograph!
This one has supplanted the cat cleaning themself from your series as the best of your cat photos I believe.
Very good use of shadow and contrast and the blue T/V light provides an effective natural tint.
I like this one a lot, Almo. I probably would have lightened it a bit and adjusted the color. But I think that's just my personal preference. It's very well done for a photo exposed from light from a TV. And I like the softness from what I assume is a high ISO setting.

This was converted to B&W in to ps and toned to give it a cold look. This is the color chose because I liked it. Though I can see how some might want a warmer hue.
It was exposed at 1600.

ALMO - - THIS CAUGHT MY EYE PRONTO !!!!!!! LIGHTING IS EXCELLENT AND MOOD IS PERFECT - - NOT MUCH INTO ANIMAL STUFF BUT WANTED YOU TO KNOW THAT THIS IS A 10 - ONE OTHER THING I MUST ASK YOU - - IF YOU HAVE THIS ABILITY - -WHY DO YOU POST SO SO MANY LOUSY `PHOTOS? GOD BLESS -- -THE PCM
Dude you really, seriously need to lose the caps PCM.
I appreciate your opinion of this image, but why call my other work lousy? That is a horribly mean and unhelpful thing to say. I could ask you the same thing, but I never have. If you don't like an image then make a comment on it. Suggest what you think could be done better, but don't make hurtful comments in my galleries. If I see anymore they will be deleted and you will be reported. I want us to all be friends, but with cutting remarks like that you are going a long way to making trouble instead.
Please think it out before you post in the future. Comments like that keep newbies and even more experienced photogs from returning. People don't post their images here to have things like that said of them. They want to learn and grow, and maybe get a little praise. Consider this next time you post.

I would just like to add this; Sone asked me why I had "such a bad reaction" to the PCM's comments. Well the truth is that no one likes to be told that the bulk of their work is lousy. Wether or not it is loosly vield in a compliment.I was not offened for myself, but for other useres in these galleries.
I do not only post images here that I think are good. I post snapshots aswell. This is not a website to show off only my best images. It is a gallery I use to share the pictures I want to share. And not just with you guys. Some images are not the best, but they are not all meant to be. Many people, not just myself, post in this manner.

ALMO - HOLY TOLEDO - DIDN`T MEAN TO RATTLE YOUR CAGE TO THAT EXTENT - HOWEVER, YOU ARE A MODERATOR AND IF YOU ARE TO BE CREDIBLE IN YOUR CRITIQUES THEN IT BEHOOVES YOU TO PROJECT SOMETHING WITH REAL EFFORT - - YOU CAN BE CRITICAL OF ME AND I CAN`T OF YOU? I CONDIDER THIS GALLERY TOP NOTCH- MOST PROJECTS I VIEW SHOW CARE - YOU HAVE SHOWN THAT YOU HAVE TALENT -QUALITY COUNTS NOT QUANTITY-- WHY NOT RESPECT YOUR INHERENT TALENT - - SORRY MAN - - THE PCM OH ARE YOU GOING TO REPORT A 75 YR.OLD MAN TO THE PRINCIPAL? COME ON
I didn't say that you couldn't crit my photos. I said "no one likes to be told that the bulk of their work is lousy".
Your view of these galleries is not the same as the one held by the admin of this website. The fact that I am a Mod is not a reflection of my skill. I was chosen because of my enthusiasm for the galleries, not my skill level.
"CREDIBLE IN YOUR CRITIQUES", Everyone here is credible in their "opinions" when they give them in a thoughtful and respectful manner.
As far as reporting you, or anyone else for that matter, I don't care if you a 5 or 75. You get the same consideration here.

ALMO - BEFORE WE GET A "DIVORCE" ONE SHOULD WALK AS THEY TALK - IF YOU PUT SNAP IMAGES OF FILTHY TRASH CANS FROM A HOSPITAL AND LOAD UP THE CRITIQUE SITE WITH THESE - THEN YOU ARE TAKING AWAY FROM SOMEONE WHO IS SERIOUS AND HAS TAKEN TIME TO PRESENT AN IMAGE THAT HAS SUBSTANCE (WHETHER GOOD OR BAD) - - ENTHUSIASM IS WONDERFUL!! -BUT IT`S HARD FOR ME TO BELEIVE THAT THE ADMINISTRATION WOULD ALLOW YOU TO BE A MODERATOR FOR JUST THAT - - I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU ARE DOING THE BEST YOU CAN DO AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT - -YOU HAVE TALENT!!!!!!! WHY COMPROMISE IT? THE FLOODING OF THE GALLERY IS YOUR BUS. - - -HOWEVER, IT MAKES YOUR COMMENTS LESS CREDITABLE - - - ARE WE NOW DIVORCED? THE PCM
I realize that no answer will be suitable to you PCM, so here it is. Follow my guidelines or don't post here. It's that simple. Your opinion on the matter means nothing to me.
For the last time, lose the caps.
