Ah well, as for "pure weight" I don't have an appropriately weighty photo of Cadtickull [aka FAT-ickull] but suspect he'd trump that. :-) [However, I have nothing to trump that chair.] ~ My cats range from skinny to FAT though all have the same food access. ~ Anyway, my point was more of a range of photo 'artistry' that is valid within some, um, sub-genre .. counter to the (purest) suggestion(s) in this thread that photography needs, nay, must reflect reality. ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ Requisite added cat photo: https://www.dropbox.com/s/x67sodpdinno64f/2977~Matt%2BBaxter~1a.jpg :-) -- == Later...

That photo was taken with an mp3 player/camera. Very low quality 640 x 480 image. I haven't played with that shot in years. I agree, the foliage is distracting.
