Steve M. Harrington January 25, 2010

Wow! What an outstanding image, Patti! Its composition is compelling with its powerful lines. And then there is the juxtaposition of natural and man made patterns. We have a long way to go as a species to come even close to what nature produces, particularly when we mar our patterns with refuse and chewing gum.
I think I could easily do an hour lecture on the sociological and biological significance of what you have presented here! Did I mention that I like it? :)

Laura L. Gonzales January 25, 2010

WOW, Patricia, this is beautiful!! Love the pattern on BOTH!! Excellent comp and presentation!! Laura #8330199

Thomas E. Hinds January 25, 2010

Fantastic image so well entitled! I couldn't agree more with Steve's assessment of both our world and your wonderful photo within its confines! There is an opening up to it (if you get what I mean). The light is fantastic as if on a lonely, yet ornate street, the universe, (or the light bulb), makes one aware of that beautiful cat's shape and patterns, trumping the street's attempts! This is really, really something nice! #8330232

Patti Coblentz January 25, 2010

Fax Sinclair level-deluxe July 07, 2010

Aloha Patricia,
Your whole gallery is an inspiration!
When you print this for its eventual home in a museum please clone out the one blotch on the sidewalk that draws my eye away from the wonderful kitty. There, after you have won and heard from everyone at betterphoto how great this image is -- a niggle from me.
It is really wonderful! #8740588

Patti Coblentz July 07, 2010

Your niggle is received in good spirit...thanks for that, and your nice complement, Fax! I appreciate constructive criticism...just don't go thru my whole gallery...LOL...the list would be very long, I'm afraid. Nice to hear from you :)

Patti #8740589

Laura E. Swan level-classic March 15, 2013

I thought I would never make it to the bottom here, Patti. Which is okay because my finger needed the exercise! :D (Now for the REST of my body! Lol)...I have just been enjoying your gallery again and I didn't recognize this one.

What a beautiful kitty on such interesting patterns for a walk way. (Side walk??) Perfect title... :)

I am wondering if you took this one on your Italy trip??

I miss you. :) And I think of you, hoping all is well.

BIG BELATED CONGRATS on this BEAUTIFUL FINALIST, Dear Patti!!!
