[QUOTE=falafelicious;206591]Uncle Frank playing in the key of B sharp on the piano

Most ingenious. Here I am trying to come up with something and I've been into writing music almost all my life. Guess I came up flat, huh?

Great job!

Default Assignment: Sharp Teeth, ears and eyes!

I really need a lot of help and practice after neglecting photography for some 20 years by just taking "shots" --- but here goes!
This cat visited us while our three cats were outside. He/she was hissing through the fence, and I managed to get close enough with the basic lens, focus on the eyes, and snap at the right moment - well, I think so!


CatFace-Watermark

No change to the original picture, other than cropping to frame the face better.

EXIF on Flickr, but here's some:
Camera: Nikon D50
Exposure: 0.006 sec (1/160)
Aperture: f/6.3
Focal Length: 55 mm
Exposure Bias: 0/6 EV
Date and Time (Original): 2008:06:07 12:15:31


Another pic taken for the "Sharp" assignment happened by accident, if anyone wants to look. The flowers are strange to me, but they looked needle-sharp!
