Bob, you grok rightly. In general, I was reading today comments for this photo on my phone throughout the day and it got me thinking. Generally, or better yet, broadly speaking, good photographs are either immediately very beautiful (say, a nice landscape) or interesting (well done busy street scene with good story or stories behind it). Immodestly, I am at least trying to aim at the second. It is quite hard, as Larry put it nicely, the cultural context of mine is very different than that of my viewers. This is both fun and challenging.
That analogy with the cat totally escaped me. You out-imagine me here, if you'd permit me using such a word contraption.
