FREAKED!!! [Contest Finalists August 2004]
Uploaded: August 17, 2004 22:52:46
Grab shot of baby Bamboo as he jumped from the coffee table to my lap and didn't quite stick; he was hanging on my pants, barely, by the skin of his claws. Canon 35-105 zoom lens, probably somewhere in the middle, and Canon 540 EZ flash. Photo reworked.

Ahh lol nice shot Janelle!!!Dan Holm August 18, 2004
So as he has his claws dug into your leg you had the presence of mind to snap this shot? ... Very impressive, Janell! ... This is a teriffic capture! Well done! #718391Janelle Barry August 18, 2004
Thanks for your complimentary feedback, Isabel and Dan! I'll have to admit though that my presence of mind wasn't all that great. I was already sitting on the couch with camera in hand, taking pictures of Bamboo on the table while I was nursing a broken ankle. He snagged my clothes but not my leg (or I might never have gotten this!) #718440Cindy K. Bracken August 19, 2004
I love it! Nice job!Cindy Bracken

This is great, I was having a bad day until I saw this, thanks,I love cats #726234Janelle Barry September 04, 2004
Wow - I guess these got away from me! Thank you so much - Cindy, Carolyn, Carrie and Katrina - for your kind comments. I really appreciate your taking the time to respond to this photo. While I was disappointed at the shadow in Bamboo's mouth, I didn't have any time to plan out a better exposure - I was totally on auto-react. But while it's not technically the greatest, the expression really said it all! Thanks again! #755871Mary K. Robison September 07, 2004
"Eye" see a winner here, Janelle! Terrific capture! #761319Janelle Barry September 08, 2004
Thanks, Mary! Technically it lacks a bit, but it definitely has character! #761331Mary K. Robison September 14, 2004
Well, Janelle, apparently the judges know a winner when they see it! CONGRATULATIONS on making finalist! Good luck next level! #776741Kelly Abernathy September 14, 2004

Yes, what a face. He would be embarrassed to see it now, cool cat that he is - but he was a riot as a kitten! Thanks for commenting! #918949Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
