Photo Contest Entry Thread for February 2010: What I Love About You

[valanhb]

The theme for February 2010 is: What I Love About You!

The idea is to enter a photo about what you love about your kitty. Could be a physical part (i.e. nose, paws, etc.) or showing a personality trait (i.e. "You're funny" with a pic of a funny face).


Basics:
NO CATS CAN BE HARMED FOR THE PURPOSES OF THIS CONTEST! Mildly annoyed, yes, but not actually harmed (pretty much goes without saying).


1.Only one entry per month, but you can change your mind and submit a different photo during the submission period.
2.No photo that has been featured in a past TCS Calendar can be submitted again. However, photos that were not in the top 3 (or 4 as the case may have been) can be resubmitted if they apply to the theme of the month. Additionally, photos can be submitted for more than one month but can only be voted in to the Calendar (top 3) once.
3.Rights to the winning photographs are granted to www.thecatsite.com for use in future TCS projects made available for purchase to other members and the public.

Photography

1. Photo and all rights must be owned by the submitter.
2. Photo entry must be at least 480 x 640 pixels, with higher resolution/size availability (by email) preferred.
3.Photo must be clear, focused, not manipulated by Photoshop (basic altering such as cropping, brightness, etc. is allowed) and apply to the theme of the month.
4.Photos that do not necessarily meet #2 and #3 can be entered, but will not make the final voting rounds.

Please be sure to tell us the name of the kitty(ies) in the photo, for award/future purposes.

The prize will include points, a custom signature and bragging rights for having the first, second and third place Ms. or Mr. February. The 1st place winner will also have a copy of the 2011 Cats of TheCatSite Calendar sent to them when it's finished. The calendar will include at least the top 3 place cats (possibly more depending on how close the votes are) from each monthly contest!

We also need to mention that winners will be asked to email full sized versions of the photograph to a moderator, and winning images will be used for future TCS projects made available for purchase to other members and the public (see above).

Deadline for submission is February 25, 2010.

All members, moderators, admin, and site owner are eligible for this contest.

This one is going to be hard. So much of what I love about my kitties is their personalities, and that doesn't photograph well.

I can think of some photos of Miss Patchwillow that show her personality!

When I posted the topic I thought that we'd get a lot of entries really quick, but after thinking about it I'm a bit perplexed about what to enter myself.

I'm having hard time deciding.. it's either paws, or their ability to make very different expressions (and you can see the lovely nose and eyes then). My entry shall be Luna again, as the picture quality is better than in Tomu's paw pic. I'm posting both pics anyway, the paw is just an extra.

Here's Luna, my entry. Look at that little cute nose and those huuuge eyes!! And the expression thing, I don't think I need to explain what I mean..


And Tomu's paw, I love paws. *melts*

That little paw is much bigger now..old pic.

I absolutely love this picture of Worm, his personality shows soo much in this picture. He is such a goof ball..."Mom i'll scream at you while you take a picture of me!!!" But I have always loved his lil nose with the 2 black spots on it. My Wormie

[AbbysMom]

I'll go with Abby's eyes, cute little nose and big chubby cheeks:

Elliott, I love your adorable little freckled nose!

[AlleyGirl]

I love how Riley and Xander can put aside their usual scuffling to sit patiently together and wait for a treat from our dinner plate The look of intense focus on their faces gets me every time!
