Don't mean to be a downer on the first day of the New Year but this is my sweet cat who passed away yesterday, on New Years Eve and I couldn't let it go without taking note of it. I've had a lot of cats over the years but she was really special and I'll miss her like heck.
Just enough contrast to bring out the detail and show her beautiful eyes. They let you see her gentle soul. Sorry to hear of her loss...but what a memory you captured here.
