WOW, Patricia, this is beautiful!! Love the pattern on BOTH!! Excellent comp and presentation!! Laura

1/25/2010 7:29:46 PM

Fantastic image so well entitled! I couldn't agree more with Steve's assessment of both our world and your wonderful photo within its confines! There is an opening up to it (if you get what I mean). The light is fantastic as if on a lonely, yet ornate street, the universe, (or the light bulb), makes one aware of that beautiful cat's shape and patterns, trumping the street's attempts! This is really, really something nice!

1/25/2010 7:46:24 PM

Thank you each so much...I'm really pleased that you like this :)

Patti

Aloha Patricia,
Your whole gallery is an inspiration!
When you print this for its eventual home in a museum please clone out the one blotch on the sidewalk that draws my eye away from the wonderful kitty. There, after you have won and heard from everyone at betterphoto how great this image is -- a niggle from me.
It is really wonderful!

7/7/2010 9:46:30 AM

Your niggle is received in good spirit...thanks for that, and your nice complement, Fax! I appreciate constructive criticism...just don't go thru my whole gallery...LOL...the list would be very long, I'm afraid. Nice to hear from you :)

Patti

7/7/2010 9:50:13 AM

I thought I would never make it to the bottom here, Patti. Which is okay because my finger needed the exercise! :D (Now for the REST of my body! Lol)...I have just been enjoying your gallery again and I didn't recognize this one.

What a beautiful kitty on such interesting patterns for a walk way. (Side walk??) Perfect title... :)

I am wondering if you took this one on your Italy trip??

I miss you. :) And I think of you, hoping all is well.

BIG BELATED CONGRATS on this BEAUTIFUL FINALIST, Dear Patti!!!

-Laura :D xo
