Amazing depth of field, feels like a painting. I keep getting dragged to the spot of black in the whiskers, you can clone this out in Advanced Editing.
Since it is a stray, I felt it more natural to leave the mark in the whisker. Kind of like photographing a street person, one isn't going to 'clean them up' in post. They want to portrait them as is.
Also same reason I kept most of the body in the image, wanted to show how skinny it is from being stray.
I photographed this from inside the house through a dirty window L()L. She was trying to catch birds and climb the tree. She started moving towards the house than heard the click of the shutter and looked right at me for a couple nice shots.
I did try to feed her, but she never came for the food. I see her ever couple of weeks or so, so maybe my house is just on a wandering rotation.

Nice photo fo the cat. But I would have cropped most of the body out of the image. Especially where the bright white patch above his left hind section is in the background. 6.
