Thank you, pomtzu and Laura!

Well, actually I have entered pictures to a contest a couple of times, but they never took any of my pics. I have also sent cat pictures to a cat magazine, but they have never been printed.

Yup, the slaughterhouse pic... it's actually a composition of 4 or 5 photos, I worked with layers (like the hand reaching out for the sheep). It's indeed a haunting picture and I was so sad when I made that, mourning for all these poor little souls...
