@ Gen.Libeb: Thanks. For me, it's always flowers time.
@ skr: Here in north India, we usually call these "khilone" (toys) and these are a part of our diwali celebrations/offerings to the deities and as part of diwali sharings with friends and relatives. HAPPY PONGAL/MAKAR SANKRANTI

I am not an Owl
Thanks buddy
Yep, he is my cat, roughly two years old. Domesticated a stray kitten and now he is quite a looker
BTW i have edited all the "e" pics. The edit is generally a trimming of the 0-4 and 250-255 levels to boost contrast. I feel that adds to the image making it punchier and more wallpaperish.
I checked out your flickr profile. You owe yourself a DSLR. Seriously. It'll go miles in helping you with good pictures. If you can get impressive flower-pics with you phone, I can pretty much assure you that a DSLR will (obviously) liberate your creativity. And if you are just short on cash, get a cheap 1100D from ebay or a second-hand body+lens. Trust me its worth it.
@skr: try to get the cat to look at something darker if possible. Their eyes open up. Thats when they look majestic. I understand though, that its a exercise in restraint to try get a stray cat's pic. Good pic :
@Gen: Flower looks 'different' (not "bad"
) . why so dark though?

Gen, I am not sure, kinda focus is little off (probably low light) or handheld long exposure.
Skr, Is this just sugar, nothing else? Will sugar turns like this?
Kid, Nicely taken.
Prashant, I have seen similar shots from you before. So I am expecting something better, like nice foreground subject, longer duration trails. I am thinking of trying startrail, I would be doing it when I get a chance to try it in wide open space and well away from city lights.

@cyberkid.... Thank you for the information.
@pranav.... Yes, strays, especially cats are a lot harder to get.
@nac.... They are just sugar. It is a tedious process, involving boiling the sugar in equal quantity of water, filtering the syrup some 5-6 times, and once the syrup is condensed to a certain consistency, it needs to be slightly beaten and poured boiling hot into the wooden mouldings. Here again timing is very crucial because, in a matter of seconds the syrup will solidify and before that it has to be poured into the wooden mouldings. But in the end, 'sweet' are the results of all the efforts

@ pranav. Thanks, for your suggestion. Yup, I definitely owe myself a dSLR. Planning to get myself a 600D. Just waiting for the right time. (Just saw that you own the 600D yourself). I'd like to have your review of that camera. Is it worth it's price or something better can be had for that much (~34K - 38K for Body + 18-55mm lens kit)?
One small request. Can you try picturing your cat's paws? I hope that pic would be an absolute stunner.

Thanks for your comments.@Gen: Flower looks 'different' (not "bad"
It was at some flower exhibition & was 7pm when I took that pic, not much light & no flash plus a bit of pp ... so dark.
Its quite good. I like it.

I'll do a review of the camera as well as I can. But here is what I think of it in short. I was set on 550D at 33k(over the 5100D at about 34k) because I noticed that contrary to all reviews online, it was the canon that produced better images in low-light conditions and the 5100D was costlier too, so the 550D. But then I found this ebay offer on 600D at 33.5k and that was it-made the jump to 600D.
Here are my thoughts:

I'll have to wait until I go home again

Anirban, Okie... but it seems very similar... even lights, angle...
Abhi, First one would be better if the lines leading to nice subject (like sky) rather than ending at the ending of the frame.
Kid, Yeah, it's a curry leaf plant. It was taken about a week ago...
Bee at flight.
For your C&C
