This group is for people who might be called "budding cat photographers" (there are professional cat photographers). The group members should be people who take formal and informal photographs of cats while deliberately using photographic skills. In other words the photographers exercise control over the photographic quality. The idea is that people who have under-developed photographic skills in "cat photography" can learn here from others and they will get automatically published on a smaller website as I will publish the photos on my website www.pictures-of-cats.org
Group members, should therefore be willing or want to get their cat photos published beyond Flickr. Also members should be able to discuss their photographic technique and how they achieved the desired result or not.
There is no reason why one or some of the members cannot progress and become professional. Obviously, members should have a reasonable photographic technique or be keen to learn.
