Sometimes you just know when you’ve taken a picture that is a little bit special. It might be the subject matter or the lighting, composition or a subtle combination of all of them. I spend much of my time photographing animals. I have a special affinity with cats and enjoy following them around just capturing them doing what they do (which is frequently nothing much).
This morning I was doing just that when this picture filled the frame. I had been trying to get a profile shot of Nefertiti when Thutmose wandered through the picture. I waited until he was no longer obscuring my viewfinder when both he and Nefertiti looked round at the same moment. Nefertiti is sharply in focus concentrating on whatever it was that captured their attention for that precise moment. Thutmose is out of focus in the background but his pose mirrors the main subject so the the eye follows both cats’ gaze.
I love this picture, the composition is just right and I couldn’t have planned it if I tried. Cats doing what cats do best…just looking.
Heh, I like the expression on the grey cat’s face….”What the hell are YOU looking at??”Visit me @ http://confessionsofalibertine.blog-city.com/
[Longrider replies] That’s his usual look. Everyone gets the same treatment.
