 Druli making it clear that this is HIS territory. In actuality he was likely keeping an eye open for Luna to come bounding out of somewhere for him to chase. Or vice versa. Natural lighting.

I got a kick out of this, Susan! Cracks me up - definitely looks as though the cat is laying claim to everything in sight! Very fun picture.

This appears to have been a snapshot, but it all comes together and works here. I'm just not sure why or how.

Very nice cat, not sure about the background, too much clutter on the right too.

Great pose and setting. Cat's are always so curious, I'm sure yours was quite interested in the new "stuff" in his/her domain. :)

I can understand this being a hand-held quick shot, and the composition works perfectly, but the image is blurred a little. Then it appears that some detail was lost in trying to recover with a combo of noise reduction and sharpening on the cat? All JMO of course. Good luck in the challenge.

Subject of the cat is lost. Almost DNMC.
