Seems that there is a story here, waiting to be told.

Mrs. Snuggles is wishing you to get well soon.

Thank you. I was going for cute :-)

The lighting was more or less classic portrait:
- Shoot through umbrella up front and at camera right (about 45 degrees). Being relatively huge compared to the "model" it wraps Mrs/ Snuggles with a nice soft light.
- The wall and the bright furniture on camera left act as a reflector giving a nice fill on that side
- There is also another light with a gridded snoot, aimed at the bacjground, right behind the subject.

Except for the text and the border, there is not much post processing. Only small adjustments (straighten, brightness, contrast, clarity).

Well, this was unexpected. I think my choice of subject won the hearts of the voters more than my photography skills on this one. Thank you all. And the decorative lighting changes from time to time. Apart from green it can be red, blue, violet...

@ Jules1x: Your comment on the lower part of the building is exactly what my wife commented when she first saw the image.

BTW, the Nikon 35mm f/1.8 DX is one sharp lens. I tends to backfocus a bit on wide apertures (f/1.8 - f/2.8), but there is a chance that it's me moving the camera. I have to test this.

I love the pattern on the building, and green lights, how unique. Great find. I wonder what the image would have looked like without that lowest (less interesting to me) level.
