 An afternoon capture during golden hour at the edge of a large forage pasture. I was hoping to photograph the cattle grazing in the background, but they kept turning their backs to me. So when this cat wandered into the foreground, suddenly the composition fell right into place.

this is wonderful, something about it makes me ache, that light...or maybe I just miss my cats...

Very nice lighting for this capture. The rim lighting on the cat is quite pleasing. The main subject, the cat, is somewhat positioned more in the middle ground but the placement in the composition helps with anchoring it near the bottom.
