This is my gray cat hanging out under a shrub in the yard. She seemed to know that she could barely be seen. I've posted versions of the before but I think, based on feedback, that this will be the final version. My favorite type of work to do is play with extremes of light and shadow. That is why this is a favorite.
The high contrast certainly adds to the intensity of her gaze Ruth. Nice job! The image lends itself to various renditions, like the one with coloured eyes..
