Max to the rescue

Posted by MaryB (Staffordshire, United Kingdom) on 29 May 2008 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

A BIG BIG thank you to everyone for your comments on yesterday's post. It's been so hectic here that I didn't get to the computer till the early hours of this morning! I will catch up with everyone today :)

Max is a great standby for a post when I've not time to sort one out. Max is not our cat, we give him/her food and s/he let's me take a photograph, a great compromise :)

............................................................................................................
Any tips or constructive criticism are welcome :)
I really appreciate all your comments, thank you so much. I'm only sorry I've not got time to respond. I do read all the comments and will try to answer any questions you have

A wonderful close up of Max. I love cats and his eyes are beautiful and dig that pink nose and long white whiskers.

This is excellent Mary!
By the way, I thoroughly enjoyed your bird series, unfortunately had little time to comment... but I guess you understand the problem :)

i absolutely love feline macros. Especially of their noses. The way the hair spirals and moves upward fascinates me.

i have a few of my own on my page if you're interested.

Great work Mary. I really like your style.

Keep up the good work.

I love your captures of Max and it's not just because he's my boys name sake... but it doesn't hurt either.

Thanks MB!

Every cat has its price. Max being no exception. Good that he is vey photogenic and you're quite the photographer, because most cats quickly grow bored with the paparazzi.

Max is beautiful and you captured him and that pink nose perfectly. He may need an extra treat for this exceptional pose. You know cats have high expectations. Max is a keeper!
