... because you're not worth the effort to kill... yet.
Meet Oscar, who lives with a friend of ours who we were staying with in Brisbane last weekend. Oscar is normally the most laid-back, people-friendly, talkative cat you have ever met. Except maybe this one time when we were harrassing him just a bit too much with the kitty toy you can see in the bottom corner of the photo, and some of his inner-cat shone through, just for a split second.
D70s, 50/1.8 @ f/4.5, 1/10s, ISO200. SB-800 w/ LSPJ, pointed straight up.

Beautiful shot. Cats have this way of looking laid back and malevalent at the same time. You have captured this nicely.

Nice shot.
Our cat spends it's time hunting snakes. She has brought three live snakes inside this week. Not worried about myself or the GF if we get bitten. Expensive though if one of the dogs gets bitten. I could ring the cats neck. If she kills a bird that will happen.
I get to laugh though. She is off to the vet in the morning to have her girly bits removed by a vet who hates cats.
Cheers

the orphaned kittens I posted last week are getting around a bit now and have already taken over my chair with similar looks on their faces.
must be a cat thing.
think you have captured the personality of this cat well.

Well, you know the old saying.. Dogs have owners, cats have staff.
It's an odd one for Oscar, as he is normally not like that at all. Thanks for the comments guys - I am just happy I captured the moment (as you can never direct animals or children).. a nice sharp handheld image at 1/10 too!!

To see just how sharp it is... (the colours might be different on this one, I saved it under a different colour profile) - the full res version, just run through a basic smart sharpen in CS2.

As mentioned, very happy with it. This was one of the usual times when I'd been shooting in manual, with the 12-24 (so 1/10 wasn't such a big deal). Then changed lenses to the 50/1.8 and of course didn't change the settings. Normally after that my first few shots are disasters until I realise my mistake. This is one of the happy exceptions.
