Carol, this is lovely. The silhouette, the colors of the sunset. The kitty appears to be contemplative. Nice one. :-) #13730

Thanks Patricia, Gary, and Cathy! :-) I saw this sunset out the window tonight and tore myself away from company to take a quick shot. The cat was a bonus and this turned out to be the shot I liked the best. #25240

Thanks, Carol, for your kind comment on my picture ‘Just the Two of Us !!!
I’ve been going through your gallery (I had noticed some of your pics before), and I must say I’m really impressed with the quality of your pictures (what a variety!), as well as by their titles, always aptly chosen.
As a cat person (you must have gathered that point from my pics), I chose this one among the many you have in your gallery, because it combines two of my favourite subjects: landscapes & cats.
Your combination is very successful, unusual, and artistically creative.
The colours are stunning, and the silhouetted cat really brings out emotion in the way he contemplates this amazing sunset. An obvious connoisseur!!!
MH :-))

Marie-Helene,
Thank you so much for all your kind words, and for taking the time to look at my gallery. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I have really enjoyed your work as well.

I find that I do like to take pictures of a variety of things, but cats are one of my favorite. Don't they make great subjects? I love photography, and enjoy being able to look at all the wonderful work on this site.

Thanks again! :-) #28128

Marie-H RALETZ May 26, 2019

Thanks a lot, Carol...
The thing is I do not have a gallery here, so I come and visit only once in a while.
I am very busy on 3 other photo sites.
I try to post pics in the contest regularly, but I don't have that much material available!
I had noticed you were a regular visitor on my pics (like Carolyn)!!!
Have a nice day,
MH ;-)) #28177

Hi Carol: Cats are wonderful, and I also I like sunsets and silhouettes, too. Well, I think you can see where I'm going with this, so ... excellent shot! Kerry #28194

Carol Engstrom May 26, 2019

Kerry--Thank you for commenting on my picture. I appreciate you taking the time, and am happy to know that you like the picture--that is nice to hear from someone who knows so much about photography. :-)

Marie Helene--what other photo sites do you enjoy? I love looking at good photography, and would be interested in other sites if they are as good as this one. #28204

Dolores Neilson May 26, 2019

A winner to me, Carol! I like the cat's silhouette, the perspective, the ambience and a most beautiful backdrop to top it all off! Lovely work, my friend! #28917
