Lily

This is my cat, Lily. She's sitting in a window overlooking our leafless trees.... pawing a winter survivor from our garden. The weather is about 40 degrees outside, but she makes me feel all warm inside.

So cute! :smile: This illustrates typical cat behavior but in an artistic way. Great comp with the pose of the cat and the flower on the left. I like your DOF choice too. I love cats so this photo makes me feel all warm inside too! :wink:

what's so funny, is that I put the flower in the window, so I could take a macro shot of it. Lily had been watching and jumped right up to investigate. At first, I was annoyed that she was making my "subject" move around. Then I realized , that she and the flower were a better shot than just the flower. I got my macro later.....after I shooed her out of the room! :wavey:

The details and warm colors in her fur as well as the action of batting the flower are great, Lucy. Definitely heart warming.
