Cat Photo Competition 5 2012 : Entry Number 62

Judges Comment

this image is true art. the subtle tones -- almost white-on-white -- the starkness and clean lines make this image work well large or small. the curve of the tail around the stark white lines of the wall on which he is perched, instantly draws you in. absolutely wonderfully done and a truly memorable image. ~ illona

Photographers Comment

This photo of my cat Luna was shot with a Leica M9 with a 90mm f/2.8 Elmarit lens. Shot with available light, I kept the aperture wide open. The only post-processing was some color correction in LR. At the top of the stairwell by the dining room is this ledge from which Luna likes to "observe her domain". I shot this from about twenty feet below.
