Cats are hard! Your capture and presentation here are exceptional. What's your secret for getting cats to hold still, or at least look like they are?

He looks so proud! Very nice cat portrait - good use of light, nice backdrop which gives a base but blends nicely, and a really good pose.

Comment by K3Master:
He lay there, on his throne (cats don't sit, it is beneath them), and proudly displayed his latest kill. For him, it was a conquest, a trophy that cemented his name and legacy among all the Kings of old. For him, it was a testament to his cunning and strength and prowess. To him, it proved the status of his rulership and set him up for a regency unmatched.

To his subjects, however, secretly snickering behind his back, it was just the latest practical joke that their poor clueless "king" had succumed to. The bumbling fool! They spoke in whispers, Can't even tell a toy mouse from the real thing.

Thus the kingdom went on, with the puppet on the throne lost in self-congratulations while the real masters ran things from the shadows, as ever it had been.

I love the colors in the sky and I have to agree with the others, having the person in this capture add so much. It changes the scale the eye sees the dunes at, makes it so much more. Awesome shot!

Comment by Melethia:
The kind of sunset shot I like - with a person in it to give scale, presence. To me that really adds to landscapes (though I realize that's not at all true with the majority).
