    Best. Title. Ever.

    I do wish that the three elements (child reading, cat, and gorilla) were not all clumped up in the middle-- but I also understand that you takes what you can gets.

    Fun. I just wish the cat was either paying attention to the gorilla, or at least turning it's head in the direction of either the child or gorilla.

    Thanks, BD. So do I, and so did I when I shot it. The cat came across that floor on little cat feet -- a step at a time. At one point he was looking toward the kid, but there was a problem with that shot. Don't remember exactly what it was. I shot three or four frames and this was the best. Finally the kid saw me and the game was up.

    I love this, it's a great lesson in composition I think. I agree with B.D. on the gorilla to cat eye contact or at least some sort of eye contact among the subjects here, but the image still says a lot without it.

    I agree that it's a cute scene. It would have profited from a lower shooting angle--kids and animals usually do--but that probably would have tipped your hand. Fun in any event.

    Yes, lower perspective would have been nice, but there were two problems with that: (1) the kid would have seen me right away, and (2) the cat would pretty much have been out of the picture. It could have been better, but as Mark said, you get what you can get.

    Love it. The gorrilla is perfect. The way it's positioned I can almost hear it thinking in it's stuffed animal brain, "are we done here yet? I'm bored."
