I like you choice of subjects but the lighting is making hard for me to enjoy this to it's fullest.

Thank you :) In the darkroom I was actually able to get more details on the pavement. Wish I could post that. I used to love shadows in my b&w so basically at the beginning I was just looking through my camera at the fence and the shadow. Something was missing though. That's when some local cat decided to get in the picture :)

The hand is a curious element in this one. That sets it apart from most other face in the window light shots like this. It adds a ? to the mix.

Fascinating composition in this one. The whole photo is the subject.

There are a lot of nice elements in this photo. After checking out the cat, all the curious patterns come into view. The pattern in the stonework in the foreground is excellent with the shadow of the fence. It looks like the shadow does not match the fence in the top of the image. It's a good eye teaser.

Thanks for the comments. About the feathers I was trying to hide the fact that they didn't have too many (I think they like to fight :)
