- This is a fabulous black-and-white image, with clean whites and deep blacks. Even though our focus lands squarely on the walking cat with its uplifted tail, our eyes are drawn to wander through the frame, taking in all of the various textures, lines, and shapes. Very nicely captured and managed in post. Congratulations! ~ illona

- Thank you very much ! I shot this photograph in Sète, France. I used a nikon FM2, a 50 mm lens and kodak Tri-X film. This black cat apparently brought me luck... Adrien

- What makes this image so striking is the framing of the cat in the corner turning into the image, and the soft, shallow-depth-of-field over all, which allows the viewer to truly focus on the cat. I believe the image would be even stronger if focus had been on the cat's face/eye instead of the back, but the textures of the grasses and the tabby cat make for an intriguing image. ~ illona

- What a wonderful black and white image ... strong contrast with clean whites and deep shadows make it a rich image, and the simple elements of the setting invite the viewer's gaze to land firmly on the grooming cat. Very nicely captured. ~ illona

- What a wonderfully playful and fun capture. With limited elements and background, the viewer can focus on the adorable kitten, the toy, and the whimsical striped socks. Nicely seen, captured and managed in post. ~ illona

- This image is instantly intriguing with its minimal tons, wonderful use of lines, and its two great subjects with their colorful sweaters. Very nicely done, and wonderful capture of the subtle interaction between the two Sphynxes. ~ illona
