Nice interpretation...I have to congratulate you on your choice of color space: you couldn't get a better black - no annoying subtleties here to get into the way of creativity - you managed to put into practice the true meaning of simplicity!...I wonder now, could this have been accomplished with any other camera than the 300D??? Decidedly not!!!... Cheers, Bee

Now, I gotta admit this one is the best photo of a cat I've ever seen!

There's some light fallout in the corners. Were you using the kit lens? ;-)

Oooooh, now this shows the 300D at it's very finest! Excellent use of monotones, the detail here is simply amazing. And congratulations on your superb use of negative space ;-)

PS Is this the Canon cat, by any chance?
