many congratulations on winning this challenge .. especially as she is no longer with you ...
its a beautiful portrait .. not only of snowy but the beautiful background that sets her off so well ..
i'm really sorry for called her 'it' in my comment during voting .. i was 99.999% sure it was snowy .. and about 95% sure that she was a she .. i should have gone with my gut ... as calling any creature an it goes against the grain .. especially a beloved one ...
a lesson for next time .. go with my gut ..
anyway .. i'm very happy she got this blue ribbon ... a few years ago my little katee won a challenge and not that long after passed away .. it was a wonderful surprise that she won .. and wonderful to get the blue especially because she is no longer with me ..
so i see a parallel with your snowy and my katee .. not exact .. but similar ..
i'm sorry you still miss her so much .. means she was very loved .. :)
i feel this may be snowy .. of course i could be wrong . i dont even remember names of ppl i've met .. but this cat did make a mark ..
its a wonderful portrait and a wonderful memory .. loving the bokeh ..
and if i've got it all wrong . thats ok .. at least it brought back memories for me of an awesome cat and the photos that were taken of it .. :)
Framed by bokeh; very dramatic. Nicely composed. I might brighten up the cat's face a little; he's a bit overwhelmed by the bright, colorful background.
