I was meeting a friend in Baltimore, and saw several alley cats near where I parked. I grabbed my Nikon D60, pursued the cats down the alley, and came upon a small opening with some trash dumpsters. This skinny but curious cat kept looking back at me, but was too timid to allow me to approach. It leaped on to a dumpster, and I was fortunate enough to click the shutter just as it turned and gave me this amazing look. I did a slight white balance correction and a little cropping.
