I had another image in for practically the whole week. Then, the day before voting opened, the sun peeked through the dining room blinds, then Coco wandered into position, and I thought, "Why not? This might just make a funky photo."

Then came the voting...

The first vote was a 10! It sat there looking very impressive for a couple of hours.

Then the second vote arrived... and reality tapped me on the shoulder.

Still, a big thank you to whoever gave me that 10, If it was you, own up—I owe you a thank you.

The captures you don’t plan for always seem to be the best. Great shot!

Thanks Johnathan. I thought somebody might beinterested in viewing my original image, this time around I won’t be showing it because I might use it in another challenge in the future. Thank you for your curiosity. 😁
