Healing Part 3. Even though a camera can be put on a tripod, doesn't mean that the ribs will be happy if you have to lean down to get to said camera. This was at the extremely painful time. And it was discovered that you really want to take photos at eye level when you are still in the healing process.

Plus -- you need a cat wrangler.

Because even with a cat wrangler, this is what the majority of shots look like:



I actually liked this shot a tad better, but it just didn't seem as compelling for a waiting challenge.



Thanks for the comments. And a fav!! That was a wonderful surprise!

Congratulations on this very fine image Wendy! Your processing choices have really helped to bring out the story here. You sure you are injured still?

I think the diagonal comp will do well here. I would have been tempted to crop a little more out but nice just as it is.
