This is brilliant. Such a fierce kitty. A little too obvious flash on the head for my tastes but overall I love the image.

TheDailySunrise said 799 days ago:

It's not fierce lol it was just meowing :) but thats what I tried to do : glad you liked it : well yes the flash is obvious but don't think I could help that much :( The flash is what made the shot possible.Thanks so much again,and glad you liked it.
Cheers!

Yikes! Somebody's a little irritated!

Great use of lighting here.

themetree said 798 days ago:

serendipitous?

TheDailySunrise said 798 days ago:

Paul, not irritated : just noisy :D Thanks!

themetree, yes it was by luck it meowed when the flash fired :)

themetree said 798 days ago:

it may have been luck, but thats not serendipity.

I wasnlt sure what they were looking for for this theme, but even though I can;t describe why, I think this is exactly it!

TheDailySunrise said 798 days ago:

themetree I don't understand the difference.

Thanks Gorin :)

Great photo, the contrast is fantastic and the cat expression is amazing!!!

Just for fun, I decided to go ahead and look up "serendipity" at Dictionary.com.

Here's the definition:

"The faculty of making fortunate discoveries by accident"

Making fortunate discoveries by accident...hmmmmmmm. That sounds an awful lot like "luck" to me ;)

If these two concepts are different from each other, the nuance is so subtle that I have a really hard time agreeing with the statement "it may have been luck, but that's not serendipity". In fact they are so close that if you were to ask most people "what's serendipity" I bet 9 out of 10 of them would answer "luck".

You might disagree with me, but one thing I think we can all agree on is that it is nearly impossible to determine "relevance" for the current theme. Pretty much seems like any image that does a good job capturing a dynamic subject in a way that looks cool or compelling should score high on relevance.

If this was a larger cat - I'd know what the decision would be
