D. Colen Sent: Sunday, February 01, 2004 4:55 PM To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us Subject: FW: [Leica] The Cat Photo submissions Okay - Here it is - As the judge's judge sees things, the clear winner, without a single doubt - in unfortunately ineligible - But it gets a 12 on a scale of 1-10 http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=2075377&size=lg 12 Why is that the winner, we asked the judge... "Because it's really funny - and to justify its existence, a cat photo should be funny." Among the eligibles, we have four photos tied for first place....And the winners are - at this moment - all at 8.7 - Sonny, Steve "Rod through the skull" Barbour, Kyle Kitty Kassidy, and Big Sal! Sonny is up there because the photo is amusing and, at the same time, intriguing; Steve is tied for first because he presented a very nicely composed photo that actually tells a story; Kyle is a winah for his composition, his eye, and his use of color. And Sal is in this group because his photo is both well composed and amusing. Close behind them at 8.5 we have Lea and Feli - And I should tell Lea that the judge's judge thought that her photo was the "cutest," which is good news for Lea, who Lea sells photos as cards etc. And coming in at 8, we have Nathan, whose photo the judge pronounced "very funny." The Kitty Porn photo earned a 7.5, not because it was Kitty Porn, but because the judge really liked the, uh, "composition." Now - I'm going to make John crazy and suggest that you all vote 'amongst yourselves' for first, second, third and 'runner up.' B.
