I fixed an ugly artifact and had to start over with my entry. Here are the great comments that were here before the fix.

Lovely moment captured, and lovely treatment here too Michelle. #11166036

As always, you've captured the in-the-moment exquisitely...you can sense her hesitation by the look on her face and the "language" of her hands and at the same time, her desire to break the barrier between she and Mittens. Never touched a cat before?? Hope she did and enjoyed the experience! Wonderful work, great choice of processing! #11166061

Oh, that's really a delight. The subject is so engaging--the little girl, her attention on the cat and vice versa. Got to love the shoes. And the treatment enhances it all. #11166438

Hey Mickey
There is a lot to appreciate in this image!
