Sweet Sleep
We spent a late afternoon/early evening in the little town at the edge of the Dales called Skipton. This cat was decorating the bench outside the small Tourism Center where we went to gather information on the north west corner of the Dales, soaking up the last of the sun and the gathered warmth of the bench. With the flowers in the backgound, I could not resist.
Minolta A1 at 70mm equivalent. F5.0 @ 1/200 @ ISO 100. Programed auto.
Punch and Landscape sharpen preset in Lightroom. Blackpoint just slightly to the right.
From England 2005.
Your camera picks up the grain of the bench strongly giving it an interesting debth and texture. Those Dahlias are a great contrast with their burst of colour and with the cat’s back to you, I tend to think the cat has attitude which I find humourous and light hearted.
Nice
