My niece was sitting on her front steps and one of her cats was peaking through the door which was open at a crack. He is totally black and a totally scaredy cat. I had to do some blending so you could see him. I was rushing because I knew it would take off at any moment and he did.
Whatever you did, you've captured texture in his fur so you're doing something right Joan! I like the feel of this shot enormously - it has a certain mysterious quality with undertones of menace.
