Considering the competition, maybe I should have entered . . .

1. eww look at that hair :-p

just kidding... my cats are worse!

This is an excellent photo... and it works well in b/w too... but I think your other photo is an excellent b/w photo too. Tough call! If I were you I'd think about if there would be a future contest where either this photo or the original submission could be better used? What does the full color look like of your original? How about this one? They both look great b/w but maybe not as nice in color...

Sorry if that didn't help, just my 2 cents!

2. Every contest there seems to be more cat entries

I wonder, is it too late to change??

3. I like that, very striking, especially considering the face is hidden.

Nice :P

4. The cat in your picture makes me smile

It's obvious that is one very relaxed kitty!

5. She is. She's a VERY mellow kitty. A little skittish when it comes to

fast movement and loud noises, but when she's relaxed, she's VERY relaxed :P
