This used to be MY turf

I spent a bit of time watching Mocha stare out onto the porch where you used to hang out before he joined my family.

Shot in black and white manual mode. Editing consisted of a small crop and Agfa high effect in Photoscape. 18-55 lens.
Cool shot Melissa!

I like the perspective.

It said "critique-me" on the tag... So, here are my 2 cents. I like the picture, and I like the light - how it "makes up" the silhouette instead of just backlighting that is on the edges. I would probably try to "wait" for her to move her tail to the other side - to have her whole body in the picture. This way now, the frame just cuts it off rather drastically, and having all of the cat in the frame might have given the image the sense of completion. Otherwise, I think the light and the tones are just beautiful.

Thanks so much Vera! I have to say that I agree 100% with your critique. When I posted this photo I knew there was something "not right" about it, and you've hit the nail on the head.
