I told my cat that I needed a picture of pain and asked him to act like he was in pain for me. We took a bunch of shots and this one really captured the emotion. I think this was an Oscar worthy performance!
Ok, that isn't entirely true. This is really him hissing at a fuzzy tiger slipper that he is afraid of.
Taken with a Tamron 28-300mm @ 59mm handheld with flash.
Post processing: Crop, curves, color balance, USM, Neat Image.

Hey wait a minute, I resemble that comment. I think that you did a fantastic job capturing the appropriate moment for this challenge (even though I bet he was yawning).
This is one awesome shot, probably the best I have seen to date. This is definitely going into my "come back to this shot group" . Love it. Yes indeed I did come back and boosted this one to a 9.... Great work.
This cat may be the most convincing actor of the lot. And the photo is very nicely taken. It's good humor and cuteness are much more effective at reaching us, I think, than some of the other approaches. Nice.
Ok. . . this is by far my favorite picture of this challenge, and I'm almost done voting! What a great capture, and your focus, composition, lighting. . . everything is perfect. So far, my one and only 10! Good luck!
