This is our (my wife's) cat "minty"..........she is not allowed on the kids beds. I thought should I kick her off, nar I will grab a shot. She woke up after the shutter went off, saw the camera pointed at her and took off.....Big Grin She is a hard cat to get a pic of, just hates anything pointed at her.........really need a tele lens to get close.

Nice one Russ.....The black and white treatment works really well in this and adds to the sense of peace and restfulness in the scene. Great!Smile

The second one is great. The glowed up one is overcooked. That's how I see it anyway, but I'm no expert!.

It is what you like that counts.Smile
