The votes so far have surpassed my expectations! So I'll write a note, assuming it might get read ;)
In trying to capture the spirit of Deb's style, I noticed that in most cases, her subjects we unaware of her presence ... or at least unconcerned, as in the case of cats. I also got a feeling of quiet, peaceful (perhaps meditative) stillness. The sun is often casting dramatic shadows and there seems to be an emotive quality ...
All that and i happen to get a kick out of my cat at this door. Especially when he reaches up to touch the handle as if he can open it! =))


Walter would like to thank you for all the nice votes!
Mirø: Mirror / Melethia ... couldn't come up with a good name - - but it didn't seem to matter.
Honestly if you told me I would get 7+ with this image I would have seriously doubted it. Great comments and votes. THX!!!

Suspense and anxiety in this frozen film noir image. Wonderful.
Could be Deb's or somebody else who really got her way of seeing
It deserves 10

Definitely my kind of shot! Cats, light and shadow, and the overhead view - all my cup of tea. This is very well seen and rendered! Oh, and also love all the patterns.

Love that the cat ignores the photographer and keeps staring out!
Also his shadow is funny, little bit like Totoro. :-) Great capture! 9

this rocks on so many levels
i am so drawn to the complex geometry of the rug, the lines from the window and its shadow, and the highlights on the whiskers...
