Oftentimes, one falls into an inner debate about the top five images and which one truly deserves the highest honor in one particular challenge. Well, this image rises to the very top on its own weight. It is a simple capture but in that simplicity we are catapulted into the felines sense of wonder. The composition is just right and one walks away fully entertained and happy to have seen this gem of an image. The good craftmanship adds to its delight.
Congratulations on your BLUE! |

| This blue ribbon is great on so many levels. For one, congratulations - not even 10 entries and you've made a huge leap to a 7+ score - wow. And then a cat in first place of a challenge that is not a cat or pet study - go cats!! :o) |

Also, a big thank you to my wife, Amy for patiently blowing bubbles above our cat, Cali until my ceiling bounce flash caught one just right.
