what a wonderful black and white image .. everything totally works .. its a piece of art .. and could almost be taken by one of the great black and white photographers of our time .. even tho its actually timeless .. the border is inspired ..
i'm loving what i'm assuming your lens has done with the blur .. LOVE LOVE LOVE .. :)

Great animal portrait, lovely detail, DOF, tones. A bit more light in the cat's left eye would have been even better.

The point is that we cannot share your memories, what means a lot to you means nothing to us.

just looking thru this challenge .. and saw this .. as a thumb it just shouted out .. 'OPEN ME .. OPEN ME' ..
so i did .. this is gorgeous .. what a stunning dof and the shapes are perfect ..
it really is a beautiful story this pic .. the leaf and the setting or rising sun .. like a farewell or a greeting .
i can see by the breakdown of the votes that a lot of ppl really appreciated this ..
but some were extremely harsh .. unfortunately goes with the territory here in dpc ...
i believe the voters were a lot more 'forgiving' and positive back in the day ..
dpc is a bit like an aging person who doesnt mellow with time and age .. but gets cranky and cantankerous and just plain grumpy .. lol .. ;)

Busy background seems cluttered but foreground has glass theme intact.
