This is a GREAT image! Did the kitty go in the bowl all on its own or did you have to coax him/her in?

Toni--Kitty was there already. Doesn't she look like I just greatly disturbed her...

Lol, my cat has recently developed a "dont you dare use that flash while I'm sleeping" look. Maybe I have taken to many pictures of him?

Yep, Toni-those are the symptoms. Luckily, this little girl hadn't had her picture taken many times and she was more put out with me than afraid. I had a photo teacher--actually for this black and white class--that did not like us taking pictures of animals because she thought them too cutesy. In my opinion, she was way off base. Have a great evening. Margy

Your teacher was wayyyy off base. This is adorable, but fantastic capture in B&W.
Thanks for commenting on my barn this morning. I just went thru your gallery and it's lovely. I especially love your B&W. Keep up the great work and have a great day!

Yep, the teacher was wrong, animals make terrific subjects. This little one proves it. Good work=^..^=

I love the crop and composition Margy ~ B&W works so well here ... and for someone who loves to take animal shots I have to chime in and disagree with your teacher ~ perhaps she was thinking of pet 'portraits' where they are put into fancy dress?

Thank you all for your comments. No, the teacher would not let us shoot any animals. Strange, but true. Being an animal lover, I could not always follow the rules.

You have all helped me so much with your comments and suggestions. As with so many of our shots, this was just a brief moment in time that coul never be duplicated. I had to capture it. Thanks again for the cudos and critiques.
