A Black Cat on Frozen Lake

Comments appreciated.

Are you kidding me? What can I say about a picture like this. The whole thing is wonderfully preposterous. I feel like I'm a child again and someone is reading me an especially adventurous and magical story. My only question is how the 16 people who viewed this picture before I did could fail to leave a comment on such an exceptional work of art.

 

let me bow here Monsieur Bulent… Brother Jack’s right… an amazing picture; the best of titles.

 

This is BLACK and WHITE photography... and  beautiful...!

I agree that this is a truly awesome and classic image.  How would it look if you were to keep the cat in the same spot but flip it so it would be entering the image?  Perhaps that would be too traditional and the shot would lose some of the tension?  Just wondering, as I try to develop my compositional eye.  Great qwork!

Love it. What kind of cat is it? Where is it going? Why is it out there? Mystery and art meet.

Great image.  Beautiful work, the cat makes it!

Starring animal too small;...I´m afraid. Composition is ok, but balance is too much white in lake and sky. You needed some more black cat.

Odd, startling and unusual.  The impossibility of a cat romping in that frozen expanse...a black cat no less.  I cover the cat with the tip of my finger and it is a simple winter landscape.  Lovely with the clouds and shadows on the distant ridges, but nothing that unusual.  With the cat...a surreal moment.  Or, as Jack would have it, like a page from a child's book of fairy tales.  "Magic" is the word I'm looking for, as much as "surreal".  Quite a prize here, my friend.
