i really like how you portraited your cat, i will try to replicate this. Did you enanche the contrast between light and shadow by darkeing shadow in post processing?

Thank you! Yes, the contrast was enhanced and the overall brightness was reduced too. The shot was made spontaneously, I had just few seconds for getting the camera out, setting it, lying down on the floor… You know the cats, everything as usual ))

Dear Tom,
I have visited your web site tjimages.smugmug.com and was truly impressed by the photos and the stories behind them. They are excellent and really superb. Some images are dated 1965, the year I was born.
You and your esteemed wife JoAnn are wonderful. I’m not surprised you like cats ))
I really appreciate your compliment. Thanks a lot.
