Cool shot Laurence, with GREAT light! Really is dramatic! She looks a bit like Goldie, one of mine: doubtlessly is not so spoiled though as Goldie's living in the lap of luxury. Cats are just like people. Some luck out and live like royalty, others have a haaaard, rough road. I always want to rescue every stray I see but -- oh, wait. I already did! (LOL)Which is not really true, but close enough. Nicely captured, Laurence! #2742680
