All the action is in the title - not the picture. It's a great cat picture, but it doesn't meet this challenge.

nice shot of the eyes but because there is no action actually taking place have to grade down.

Good picture but not really an "action shot"

Ahh, wonderful close-up and nice expression. My cat doesn't like the camera so close to her face...:) HOwever I don't really feel that this fits all that well with the action theme.

Boo, not action, also the shot isnt very crisp. If the cats head was dead center, and its nose to the top of its head was completly vertical, and the eyes were kind of looking up at you, it would have been better. Bad lighting too

Nice shot of kitty but shoehorning it into this challenge with a title will not give this shot the chance at a fair review from the voters.

Great portrait but not good action shot. Title of the photo is not enough to make it an action photo.

about to take action is not really action, and without your title, it's really nothing more than a great picture of a cat...sorry

Nice close up of a cat. Doesn't really seem to be ready for action to me or currently involved in any action.
