Classic Halloween
Uploaded: October 24, 2012 04:36:03
While strolling the grounds of Wildseed Farms in Fredericksburg, TX hoping to find some seasonal color somewhere (there isn't much autumn color nature-wise in my corner of Central TX), Chloe, the resident black cat at Wildseed, crossed in front of my path (good thing I'm not superstitious), plopped herself on a palette of pumpkins and waited for me to grab my camera....what a sweetie! :)
Exif: f/5, 1/80 second, ISO 640

Congratulations on the Mark III, Val. Soon I'll be congratulating you on NO LESS than the MT First Prize. I'm daring to hope for MORE!You've done such a magnificent job on this that I'm finding I don't have words.
Your black-on-black detail is outstanding, the eyes all aglow GRIPPING, and the pumpkins...just brilliant in color and richness. Congratulations in advance. It's an award winner in any forum. #10382147

What an absolutely perfect seasonal image, Val! Chloe was certainly a most cooperative subject, but it was your talent and skill that has made this sing! Exposure and detail on her is flawless and not easy (I know, I have a sable Burmese) and with the pumpkins and beautiful glow and textured BG - this has got to be a winner! #10384469
