Relaxed?? [154738 Animals]
Uploaded: May 18, 2011 01:26:31
The way cats sprawl across any available surface and go to sleep never fails to amaze me.
I used PhotoFiltre's "more shadows" and the clone tool to remove distracting background. Saturated color and sharpened photo.

This is so FABULOUS, Mary! Fabulous lighting and composition. I suspect basking in the sunshine is his favorite thing to do! Deb #9421889Mary K. Robison May 23, 2011
Thanks for your enthusiastic response to this, Deb! This is one of several cats who "walk the wall" in our backyard. Sometimes one cat meets up with another --- an exciting time is had by all! #9423031
