She didn't want to sit still, so I placed her up on the wall. She heard a loud noise and looked. That's how I was able to capture this photograph.

Thank you for all of your incredible comments and congratulatory wishes. Bella is a sweet kitten. Since I captured this image, our family adopted her sister. So we have two new kittens and our full grown cat, Shadow. I will try to get them to stay still long enough to capture a portrait together.
