My vote goes to 8. pichlo "Self Portrait".
I love rotated gallery pictures.

#5 spfoo

But have to say that #6 is something worth framing and putting on the wall. The contrast, the L/R symmetry, then again symmetry of circles on the ceiling because he positioned himself so good.....

Unfortunately I missed thos month competition. Next Month I'm in again.
My vote goes.of course to pichlo!

Re: Camera phone competition October 2019: Portrait
 

And in all the commotion, I forgot how many bullets that was . . . and also to vote.

So it's 1. kinggo

Can't stop looking at those shiny eyes

Re: Camera phone competition October 2019: Portrait
 

Very difficult to choose…

1. kinggo

Re: Camera phone competition October 2019: Portrait
 

Kinggo +1

I love cats...

Re: Camera phone competition October 2019: Portrait
 

I know...
the eyes have it...
That's why it was a hard choice between the cat and the stray...I mean ..."the pichlo"

Re: Camera phone competition October 2019: Portrait
 

Well, as a chef i share your opinion.
But as a husband and father... ;)
I even quit the delicious comments about their horse some time ago tho they still pop up in my mind every time i see it.

As an effort to overcome my cat dislike, i vote for 1# Kinggos very crisp shot and admit i wanted to recreate a similiar picture with the rabbits. And failed :D

Rabbit is good.
Bear is good.
Deer is good
Elk is good.
Wild boar is good.
Porcupine is good.
Skunk is good.
Moose is good.
Cow , chickens, ducks and geese are good.
Living up north ...living on a farm...
I have had them all.
As a youngster it is a hard hard thing to even contemplate sitting down and eating childhood playmates...
But thankfully I was raised to appreciate their time and their purpose in the scheme of the food chain.
As an adult I fully understand ...and see the sacred in being part of the process ...rather than just someone at the supermarket getting their "cut" prepackaged in cellophane ..
Which divorces humanity from being ...well...human.....

All of them are tasty if prepared properly

I love all my dogs and cats...past and present
But as the quasi-immortal Mel Gibson once said in a movie...

I am sure my cat would be tasty too.
It is all in the prep.
Of course I am not planning on it and bookmarking recipes...
I doubtless, as with past companions.. Would feel absolutely horribly devastated at their passing...
All that being said...
Eddie and Cat-O and I have an understanding...
If an apocalyptic end of the world happens ...and we survive...and then miraculously run out of the 2 year supply of food we have stored...then to spare them both...
Eddie is on the menu first...since a 30 lb dog properly cooked and seasoned should last Cat-O and I a long time...
And because Cat-O doesn't eat as much... is a diligent mouser...catching up to 5 mice a day from the woods...and bringing 2 or 3 back alive to the door for me...
So Cat-O can provide a decent subsistence existence for the both of us ...until things get a little lean and he starts looking tasty...

The likelihood of some horrible calamity like that occurring is slim at best.
More likely is the prospect of me choking and dying on breakfast or dinner..
And that is where they have my complete permission to chow down on my corpse if no one comes by timely to check on me.
I wouldn't want them to go hungry...and it isn't like I would mind ...being departed from my mortal frame.

So thats our arrangement.

Love all my companions...dearly...
Give them tons of affection and playtime...
And a stressless environment..
But never let them get fat..or too lean..
Not good for their health...
Not good for the meat either...
