Cat Photo Competition 3 2013 : Entry Number 43

the almost abstract simplicity of this image, the wonderful black and white conversion, the incredible texture and detail, yet the softness, all lead the viewer to want to come back numerous times for multiple viewings in spite of this images simplicity. beautifully seen and captured, and expertly presented. an instant fave. congratulations! ~ illona

Thank you for this award! It is an honor to reach this level. This was taken on Terceira Island. The little cat was looking out to sea as I passed. I still had time to stop the car, sit a few feet behind him and photograph him. He seemed to be waiting to be portrayed because it went away shortly thereafter. I used the D4 for this photograph. Thank you again!
