Gary, your image reminds me that a cat belongs to the same species as lions and tigers!

Tom, I like your choice of the B&W rendition for the respective images.  Both look very fitting!

@Tommiejeep & Akira:  Yeah, the longer you look at the cat the scarier it gets.  I'm just glad I wasn't a pigeon.

Breda Oktober 21

A wonderful picture, Fons. I ask myself if it would be as good or better with a harder mix???

Love the plant
the girl barely visible looking at her phone
the guy with hair made of a tree shadow
the delicate tea pot
the sculpture of the mother and kid

A trained dancer can poise like a beautiful statue, and you capture the very moment!

I might want to raise the shadow a wee bit more, even though the final result is a high-contrast image, in order to make the entire shape of the body and costume a bit more visible.

Akira, I agree.  Although I love the curve of the body , I would prefer her nose (outline of front of face) not totally black but PP is a highly personal thing  :) .
