Thank you so much, Bob! Always happy to see your comments! I've been taking some chess pics, too, but so far Snickers has not taken an interest.
Originally posted by mtansley It's a great photo. Mind you, I am biased when it comes down to cat photos.
Maybe not TECHNICALLY perfect if you're worried about the focus but who really cares unless you're looking for that.
I believe that there are two types of photos the 'technically perfect' photos and the 'great' photos. They are often different and the 'great' photos are generally a lot of fun.

Quite true, but these days more often than not in PP you can put the two together and make a "perfectly great" photo. This OP's shot here doesn't really need to be perfect or adjusting (well perhaps a bit less yellow cast) and it doesn't even need to be titled the way it is, it tells it's own story.
Nice I like it !
Greetings
Originally posted by mtansley I agree, I don't think it needs anything either.
In fact I think at times that there is too much emphasis on making that 'great' & 'perfect' photo. Why should they have to be both.
A photo like this exists on it's own and tells a fun story.
Actually, that's one reason I like hanging around this site, I've posted some of my own 'great' but not 'perfect' photos and got a nice response. People enjoying the photo for what it is.
Long may that continue here!!
An interesting discussion, mtansley and Schraubstock! First, thanks so much for your kind words! I'm so happy you like the pic!
I would agree that there is more to a photo than technical perfection. Of course, it's nice to have both technical/story aspects. Unfortunately, I have often found myself deleting perfectly good "story" shots because they are slightly out of focus or whatever nitpick. I just couldn't lose this one. I debated whether to post it, and now I'm glad I did. And part of the reason I did is having seen some great shots posted here that perhaps weren't "perfect" but were very special nonetheless.
As for the yellow cast, guilty! It was a warm morning sun shining through the window, but perhaps not
that warm. lol
Thanks again for the nice comments.
