Ah, but I was going for something different. I wanted the focus to be on
something different. I have many pictures of my cats with their eyes in
focus.... Rules are meant to be broken. He often sits with his front
paws outstretched and together like that, so I thought I'd emphasize the
paws. I see it didn't work, and the intent is lost on people ;)

Right. Strangely, the photo forum I frequent had an entirely different
view of it, but there you go ;)
My feelings are not hurt, I take lots of Okay photos, and lots of bad
photos... Depending on who you ask, this one is either a masterpiece, or
a train wreck :) I think it's somewhere in between. The bicycle in the
back killed it, and I don't think my focus/DOF was where I really
intended it to be.
