People Watching is a Fun and Relaxing Activity

:) :)

Love this one just for the assortment of tones. You have to spend a little time for the picture to sort itself out but the sheer abstract power of the lights and darks in the composition holds your interest long enough for everything to start making sense.

Such a pretty kitty! :) Nice tones and light, composition is great and interesting scene. Love the cat's profile, expression and pose. I think when ever one combines books and cats the outcome is destined to be great (well, in capable hands, such as yours, that is)! Very well done. Thank you for sharing. :)

Length of the time in present.

Great tones. I like that we are down at close to the same same level as the cat, seeing the world from its perspective.

Location works, mind you so does the model. :)

"And they are such silly creatures", said the Cat.  LOL, perfect title... Mike

you really got the perspective done right here.. the cat looks huge..  the books seem a thing of the past.. ever notice when cats know they are being photographed they turn their heads?

a cat surrounded by books! that's as fine and good as the world gets, yah!? the tones are amazing, carlos! ;-} dp

He seems captivated by the light coming in from the right. The reflective material in the background above him is hard to read, seems to have no purpose, and yet provides a kind of mystery of light to that dark space that works among the clutter in which he sits. I particularly like the texture of the rug that almost breaches the bottom of the frame. He's about to start scratching it, just before he walks over to that puddle of sunlight and curls up in its warmth.

Like Jack said, the first tyhing you notice is the tones.

The cat certainly is the 'star' of this image. But I love everything else in between that grabs my interest as well. Excellent processing brings out such rich blacks and lovely light. Well done!
