Comment by streetpigeon:
This is glorious, just glorious. The shadows are as telling as that which casts them. Whatever the challenge I would give it a 10 and rue the constraint. And further still, I would give a 10 to how you're facing your own challenges with determination and heart. Art and pain can be trying friends, always testing each other, pushing each other. Personally, I feel you do your utmost to make things right by your lights, but when it comes down to it you play the hand you're dealt with courage and, again, heart. So, I'm grateful for your gratitude and the inspiration you offer.

The magic of the trek, it's all there waiting for you. All you have to do is find it, focus, and "CLICK"!!

I think you've nailed it. That zone we enter where our worries fade away.. that's exactly what happens when I take my camera on a trek. Katee agrees and she's just making sure you're still there and haven't fallen into a rabbit hole. Cute photo!

It's amazing how animal companions become our home, and they do whether we realize it or not. Cute photo of Katee looking sleepy-eyed.

Her teeth are surprisingly white and healthy looking for an old girl and her eyes are clear. I can tell she's very well taken care of. You are a super mommy and Katee is very lucky to have you.

This came out really nice, the detail in her fur is quite amazing. I agree with you on the flash to bring out the details and I've also noticed that cats are pretty complacent about that. Generally, when they've had enough they'll just get up and walk away.

Molly is brewing a plot. For sure. Behind this accommodating behaviour....perhaps she wants to be a photographer also.
Using a flash never crossed my mind and we do have a totally black cat in our family.

Everything I love about the essential ingredients of photography is here. Light, monochrome, composition, timing and emotion. This is what I think of as the Noble Snapshot, which genre I think is the highest expression of photography.

Most photographs are a depiction of an object. This photograph is an object. It's beautiful, and indelible.

Silver medal and score of 9 for you. Thank you.
