Nice bit of catching up. Not totally struck with quad / reshoot, but I love the shot of the photographers and Mavis is very appealing!

I sympathise with your computer problems. I dual boot with Linux but can't do without XP for PSE.
Quad - I like the soft dreamy effect here. I think it might be even better if you cropped out the handle on the left so that you were left with just the four tines. Just my opinion, though.
Shoot - a lovely candid shot which shows how much they are enjoying themselves - makes me smile with them. The mono treatment suits the hard lighting. I think I'd like a black border round it to contain the white shirt on the right.
Mavis - she's gorgeous! Lovely soft background, and a great story to go with it!
And I thought I had computer problems! Glad you're back in action, Ian
Mavis: what a little duck! Geese are amazing birds and have lots of character. The best I can hope for is the stone one in our small garden, but Mavis sounds ideal, and the best of all possible worlds. I'd love to see her full length, though.

Catching up on your catch up session, Just lately i have had less time to get these images done, final go the single on do this morning, now catch up on other peoples images.
Quad - Great image of the fork, nicely focused and great DOF
Shoot - Well us TOG's alway make a good image when we shooting away.
Single - Depth of field works great on this image
Well done on all and well caught up
That is a seriously p####d off soggy moggy.
You can't beat a good cat shot - the little buggers have always got so much emotion in their faces.
Like it, and the B&W works nicely too
Awww - poor cat - he is certainly looking daggers at you! Love the shot and the back story - purr-fect!
That is a seriously p####d off soggy moggy.
I gave Izzy (our cat) a week off from the lens this week
Caught him well. I have found that black and white cats are a pain in the backside to photograph due to the complete change in contrast, metering etc...
... so true!
Fantastic shot, Ian - and really made me laugh out loud! I hope peace and harmony have now been restored and Oscar's back in his rightful place on a comfy chair!
Jean
lovely shot - made me lol. He does look rather sorry for himself.. expect he will make you pay for it later !
Poor Oscar - cats so hate water. That stare says it all
I love the lighting on this, and if looks could kill...
I also know what you mean about photographing animals. I have learned never to have a shot in mind. I just take what I can get but I am sure that's not the right way to go about it.

Really good capture and the B&W finished it off very well
Great take on the theme. Funny too. That is a look of "I would have you if I were a tiger"
Now that is a steely glare, I know I have cats well captured.
Some great detail in the fur there. Not easy with the colours involved.
Really captured the mood of the subject
Andy
Awwww poor Oscar.
He's not very happy with you is he?
And don't be surprised at all the positive comments. It's a really great shot!!!!
Cats aren't an easy subject to shot, but the eyes are fantastic, you've done a great job on getting the exposure right for the black and white fur and I love the hedgehog / just been washed texture going on there.
It's worked brilliantly.
I would say poor Oscar, but I'm not a cat lover so I won't Definitely giving you daggers there. I like the idea of the stare on the stairs, but failing that you've captured the wet moggy's evil stare nicely here
Really like that one Ian, at first I thought it was a little blown but the more I look and my eyes get used to then it grows on me.
The eyes are brilliant and love how the light picks out every stray hair.
Well done
The cat is good and the stare is what is required for this week. However the space to the left needs something more as there is quite a lot of it and tends to make the eye go there quite often.

Excellent shot Ian... how mean can you get ... I mean... washing the cat
Excellent shot and a really steely stare.
Cats rule, quite literally
I think the shot would have been even better with the cat framed to the left, but still works as is.
