 I don't expect this to do very well....but who knows?

I have often played with my cats when the light is right, bouncing reflections from my watch face to the wall. This one gets bored more easily than her active brother who will chase anything all day. I learned today that she really likes to pose for pictures--so patient! (I'll have to see what she'll do for cheese.)

Basic editing, so I rotated, messed with levels, cropped, sharpened, and resized for upload. I would have had a dodge-fest to lighten her face if it were permitted but sometimes the way you take it is not so awful.

Hope my kitty stands out among the dogs...and despite that, I bet someone's frog wins.

Great implied connection, sorry others didn't "get" that.

First off, I think this photo is one of the most creative of the bunch. How can it be improved? If the feline was looking to her right, as if interacting with the shadow.

Nice idea... bright area in upper right is distracting..... not a very cute cat (in my opinion).
