Just a touch more work to this burned down and vignetted the corners and also more dodging on cat as needed than applied a simple gaussion blur to the background , Helped even a little more

Well, your original intent was to say that Scooter was not happy with the criticism that you received from a member of another forum. I think Scooter's ears tell it all for me. He isn't happy.Funny, aside from the great technical and nuts-and-bolts composition stuff that I'm learning here, I've also learned that I don't much care for that particular photo of Scooter!
True! (BTW, Scooter is a female.)Well, your original intent was to say that Scooter was not happy with the criticism that you received from a member of another forum. I think Scooter's ears tell it all for me. He isn't happy.

You just said the magic words and made our day. ThanksI'm also glad I posted that particular photo, because it was a good launching pad for some excellent lessons and I am very grateful for that. As usual, it's our "mistakes" that provide the real fodder for learning and growth.
Exactly, and the trouble with the Nocti-Nazis is that they don't seem to use their eyes but just think that everything it produces is beautiful. It can be a spectaculer lens but it has to be used carefully.One other point the Nocti can be downright freaking ugly with bokeh, it is a lens that needs a lot of care and the user watching what there backgrounds are doing. i have seen great bokeh with the Nocti but like Mitch says it is most ugly a lot of the times too.
Were did you get this . Not even remotely true. Sent a PM , please read. Trying to understandI'm not going to be posting or reading any of the forums here for a while. You know, maybe I do ask incredibly stupid questions and maybe in 39 years of shooting I haven't learned a damn thing and maybe my photos are hardly worth the time it takes to scroll past them, but I'm really feeling worn out and looked-down-upon here lately.
Message received- I'm a no-talent idiot. I just don't need to hear it anymore.
