Cat Photo Competition 6 2014 : Entry Number 228

what a fun, expressive shot ... made all the stronger by the shallow depth of field allow the viewer to really focus on this fabulous cat's face. nicely done. ~ illona

Thank you so much for the mark of excellence, Illona! My name is Rike Bayer, I'm from Germany and I took this photo last year in Spain. There are many cats in the neighbourhood and most of them are rather shy but that one cat was very curious about what I was doing. She was walking on a wall towards me when she shook her head and I managed to take this fun picture. I love the expression - it reminds me of the movie character Puss in Boots :-) Nikon D300s, Nikon AF-S Nikkor 70-200mm 1:2,8G ED VR II
