B.K. Street

There is so much to enjoy in this shot, the stark black and white treatment, the cat looking back towards the viewer, the angles of the roofs, all great. I struggle a little with the black on the right hand side of the shot. The black on the left feels deliberate, the right feels intrusive, accidental. Not sure but it might be better without it. Still, excellent shot.

I agree with the previous commentator. To the word. I also agree with his stating that it is an excellent shot. I had not noticed the cat, and when I did notice the cat, I jumped - just what the cat was about to do. Too many photos are too finished, with all the spontaneity polished off. This photo will stay with me, as though I had looked out the window and seen those silver leaves floating over the black void in a picture never to be forgotten, everything over in a moment. What we cherish most later when we are more old than young are memories of moments in the past random seemingly inconsequential blurred around the edges, but glowing and trembling with life life life.
