I really wanted to get something other than a cat for this comp, but I'm out of time and thats my own fault. I posted this in general forum the other day. Its the battle of the kitties!

That one actually prefers the big red ball. He'll play catch with the crowd by forcing the ball underwater so it pops back up out of his enclosure to the crowd. Its pretty fun to watch.

Its always fun (to watch) until someone gets hurt. Then its just hilarious.

I can't find the original of the one I want to submit and the only copy I can find right now I've desaturated to dull out the colors and I'm not sure if thats acceptable. So heres another another portrait I took.

Just as i have been trawling through my old photos as anticipated i'd do when i left the quoted post, i found the polar bear shot i took.

Hindsight, it would have been a great portrait comp photo...

This one won't eat your cat because it's so fluffy and cuddly. Why would he eat your cat when he is so smoochy woochy.

Nice shot. I think I understand why so many people get mauled by polar bears. They just look so friendly and fun.

I wish I'd seen this sooner :) (I know the comp is closed, just wanted to share)

Took this in 2004 in Egypt. Love spontaneous photos like this.
