I'm afraid i missed this photo first time around. He is beautiful, his color is magical. Lighting and shadows add dimension. The choice of complementary colors in the flowers is a nice enhancement. I have my second orange kitty who is a female. My brother has two. All different litters and all fans of Orlando the Marmalade cat.

Beautiful capture of Joy. He looks like a member of my new cat family. I have not come up with names for most of the group yet. The next door family has decided to keep mama cat and one of the male kitten, they are naming Sully.
I really like the flowers, and stone, he is parked himself on. The initial impact is very warm, and color is calming. The angle is just right for the flowers to face the cat and camera. Clarity of the eyes and fur are catching the sun shine just right. He is a very handsome guy.

This is certainly one of the better entries in the contest. Your after photo work really makes this a standout image. The enhanced glow, details and touch of oil catch immediate attention and holds it with a desire to see it all. Very nicely done ~ Steve

Gorgeous cat, gorgeous scene! Love the colour and texture of the cat's fur. He looks relaxed yet attentive due to the expression on his face. The flowers are the icing on the cake. Excellent shot, good luck in your competition!

This is worth a 6 star rating, sorry I run out - fantastic initial impact, a very picturesque capture that would make a wonderful model for an oil painting -
I specially love the time of the day giving this scene a nice natural golden glow enhancing the picture so well

your picture is clear and sharp in details, excellent form angle and position, , well framed, well composed with perfect contrast and lighting,

I think this is an exceptionally beautiful picture, Joy has a good flower taste loll - thanks for sharing

Comment from Sange


This is a fine capture of a resting cat on a stone wall surrounded by
Beautiful orange flowers and green leaves. I like the look of him surveying his "kingdom".
My dog often does this. He has to be high up on the couch or my bed and he lays there looking down while I am laying on the floor watching TV.
Love the warm colors, sharp focus and the fabulous fur details brought out by the oil painting filter.
Love it!
Good Luck! :)
