 I know I'm crazy but I love the distortion created by my 10mm lens. Since the cats are generally in constant motion, I never really know what I'm going to get. In fact, many times I'm not even looking through the viewfinder, I just place the camera somewhere down around them and click away... I got lucky on this one of Simba :-)

Practically nothing in the way of processing, just crop, Color Efex Pro tonal contrast (and yes, this is the best plugin EVER!), and converted to B&W with the channel mixer.

It's not the way you often see cats, but I like it.
