[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The lovely, plumbing obssessed, Dino (my foster cat) has found a home. Not in in the bath tub, but with a high school teacher! Thanks Seth for taking Dino... This is the last picture I had taken of him, in the middle of my packing (I am moving!), and playing with Sepia (my very first trial). I very slightly cropped the picture. I miss Dino, but I know he has found a good home.

I love how soft, yet sinister Dino looks.
Sorry you had to find him a new owner.
Regards,

Exquisite title! Lovely picture. I think I would have cropped a little more, especially the floor at the bottom. Loved Dino's story. I can imagine you missing him, but it's a good thing he found a good home.

Love it. The pose is so cute and so typical. I have a cat too, so this is really appreciated. You have a good heart to take care of this cat.

Suggestion: Crop out some of the foreground to just where the floor darkens in colour. This way it will bring more attention to Dino.

What licking? He's practising Kung-Meow... Those humans will never understand the way of cats... *shakes head*

Just wanted to take a look at your gallery, and, guess what? I got a fluffy thing brightening my life, too. The reason I like this picture (and not merely returning a favor of you making kind comments about one of my shots) is that the pose Dino's striking for this take reminds me of two cats: Conchita (I've got several pictures of my ragdoll in her own interpretation of this particular Kung-Meow position) and the famous actor guy: The Puss. If you ever watched Shrek movie, you (as a cat person) must have noticed immediately how true was the way The Puss looked like sitting on the "noble steed" while meeting the princess Fiona. Well, to me The Puss eyed Fiona with the same expression in his eyes, as Dino is looking at you in this picture. However, I would have definitely cropped the overexposed bottom of your frame. To my liking there's simply a bit too much of it. I hope Dino is happy where he is right now and is treated well there.

BTW, I love the title, too...
