Hey Scott,

LOL, don't be crushed!! I think that Koko is a beautiful cat - a Maine Coon? The first shot is very cute - though the flash is a bit strong, and I prefer the second shot to the first. I like the composition a lot.

The part that is throwing me off in the photograph are the three flowers. What I mean is I can not tell if I like them or not. I think from a purist perspective, you want the cat, the whole cat and nothing but the cat...at least, nothing obscuring the cat. However, I am thinking that you photographed this in this way intentionally. I just don't know what to think of it - which is why I did not respond earlier.

Your thoughts?

Thanks for sharing!
James
