I did a quick vote on this challenge but never came back for commenting. This was a shot I definitely wanted to come back to, for many of the same reasons you outlined in your notes. Breaks my heart to see animals just dumped like trash. I love the picture. A bit of dirt, but otherwise a very healthy looking young cat. I'm hoping he is indeed a barn mouser and not a dumpee.

What a beautiful boy! Lovely picture of him, too, by the way - color is rich, comp is good - all that stuff. But then I'm a sucker for kitty portraits. And yes, you've learned that we don't choose cats, they choose us. Butter chose well. :-)

Ohhhh. . .Butter is BEEEEAUTIFUL! He jumps off the page at you! I think he was indeed a gift. I am so sorry for the loss of your beagle. After a year, does it still hurt? I lost my cocker spaniel just a bit over a month ago, and I still cry for her every day. I'm starting to wonder if I will ever be able to not cry when I think of her.

Hi Michelle, this is still one of faves of this challenge, I am surprised it didn't score higher, yet another case an under-appreciated TS shot! love the dof and textures, wonderful detail. Ain't new macro lenses fun? :-)
