So happy to see so many entries for this month's competition. I don't have a pet with me, and almost all animals around me are hidden in winter. I was planning to enter the competition with something related. Until I saw this guy outside my house in Cambridge. I took my camera out and he was trying to run away. And here he is (escaping).

Took with Panasonic CM1 and I didn't have a chance to walk closer. Please see the original picture to see him in a clearer vision. ;)

====================================

Edit: After a second thought I decided to enter the competition with the first picture, took in the local shopping centre in Cambridge with the CM1. Original.

Now I have added a fourth browser to the list, IE. The result is here:

There is a slight difference but the picture is still not shown.

One thing all my experiments have in common that is different from yours is that they were all conducted from the UK. Perhaps the content blocking is location based?

This is getting OT, but just to let you know you are not alone. I have the exact same issue... Picture is not shown in N900 browser, nor Firefox or IE. Firefox and IE tried on two different computers using different ISP.

/Estel

Haha imagine the rage inside.., thanks for demonstrating why N900 has a built in flash with blue-reflection for demasking jobs like this.

Don't vote for me or I put next topic "Sneaky Women from Venus" :p


Edit: about the picture not displaying: No go in Firefox but Iron (OSX based "secure" Chrome) shows an image icon, and I can right click on it to "show picture in new tab"


Where the photo should be is this icon:

Attachment 36465


The result displays in a new tab and is very much revealing about the specimen as the photo site automatically linked its image to the typical "our women" , "our cash" and invasive looking space ships or drones which are common interest / targets to invaders of our beautiful blue planet.

Nothing wrong with cropping. Especially with this month's theme. Getting the right pose, framed properly, of a subject that may not want to be approached . . .

Sure wish it were Summer and I could find another hummingbird moth, that'd be a nice entry. But trying to get the face, in focus, that's tricky. Guess I'll just add YAKC (yet another kitty cat) . . . as soon as I'm done cropping it ;)

Here goes . . .

Hummingbird moths are really skittish... I've only shot a handful of shots and that was with a DSLR. ;)
Here's the neighbour's dog Caesar looking sadly as I walk away from him to school.

#5 - Docinha

Re: Camera phone competition January 2015:"Animals"
 
All entries are great. And I have met a Siamese cat, recently...

I vote for #3.FlashInTheNight86 - Motorola Droid 4
Maybe, because I wish I could see snow that deep and clean here, and birds as unafraid of people (and I do not mean pigeons).

Very close:
#9.maegon9y00 - Nokia N9
The lizard is great! Is it from a pet shop nearby? Or are they truly living in the wild here?
#11.panjgoori - Samsung Galaxy S4 LTE
It looks as if the bee was attacking the plants ;-) Like a space-ship landing on alien planet...
#13.ste-phan - Nokia Pureview 808
The view is great. Looks like Lonely Mountain, to me, for some reason... Is it Shire or Rivendell, on the banks of the river? Is it Crebain sitting proudly and fearlessly?

Thank you. Best wishes.

Unbroken spirit , physically withheld.

Very extravagant camera as well ;-)

Re: Camera phone competition January 2015:"Animals"
 
Again, really good pictures. Even as I like mammals more, I'll have to vote for:9. maegon9y00
Reason is the oddity, having such a large lizard come into dangerous street on daylight.

Great picture, but the last three days of month are usually reserved for voting for existing entries.

Thank you. Best wishes.

Serves me right for being too lazy to take a pic, even though I pass by them almost every other day
