Oh my goodness, this is too cute! What awesome lighting on your cat. I can't believe you got him(her?) to pose like that. My cat would run off for sure, lol! Wonderful shot, maybe just a tad too much negative space at the top. 8. Wait, I'm bumping up. This is minimal editing. 10. This is outstanding straight out of camera.

Roz!!! Another stunning image. That bokeh is divine. And the colors! I’m liking the centered composition here, but it would be interesting to see other edits as well. Congratulations!! xx

Wow, this is beautiful. Congratulations on your creativity - beautifully executed. Well deserving of a ribbbon in a challenge with many outstanding entries. Welcome back - I too returned fairly recently after more than 7 years away and am glad to have reintegrated. This site challenges in a way most others don’t.
