Yes, it is! Thanks for the comment, Chuck.

This really is lovely. I especially like the bits of clothing that are illuminated, and the positive/negative effect of the figures against the white wall vs. the black space. The spacing, sense of movement, and different body positions (each one like a sculpture) are just entrancing.

Thank you so much for that nice comment, Donna.

Thanks, Trisha.  She was a skinny neighborhood stray when we got her, and had to be coaxed indoors.  She seems to have zero desire to go outside anymore (now that she's queen of the castle) but loves to watch from the windows.  

Thanks, Chuck; glad you like it.

What a great environmental portrait (my favorite kind). The processing suits the subject very well, and I love the way the lighting brings out the scratches in the floor and also throws that shadow of your subject to help fill in the space to the right. Her pose and expression are excellent. I bet she was thrilled with the result!

Yes, they do, don't they? This sweet kitty was a scrawny, unfixed stray who was hanging out on our street and started following my kids home. She quickly inserted herself into our household, much to the chagrin of the dogs, and is just the sweetest, best cat ever.

Well, this caught me off guard! If someone had provided me with a written description of this picture (out of focus, odd color, rather mundane subject matter), I wouldn't have bothered to take a closer look (or any look at all). But this is fabulous. It's just one of those images that hits a certain visual/emotional spot that I didn't even know I had. I love its "imperfections," esp. the fact that it is out of focus. First, because I can't read her work tag or pin and I'm having great fun imagining what they say (I can think of something different each time I look at this). Second, because the blurriness adds to the feeling of movement, as if she's hurriedly bustling about from table to table. And third because it looks just like I think a fragment of memory would look if it were made into a photograph (I know my own memories seem like blurred, imperfect snippets cut out of the now-long-lost film reel of my life). The slightly odd colors add to that effect. Finally, it's just a really nice, honest portrait; love the warmth in her smile and the connection with the viewer.
