Nice one RK. The photo along with the commentary makes one realize that even if you are right in the middle of a football match, you will feel "all alone" if can't see or hear... -Cat

I'm blonde so I get your meaning now:) The eyes are wickedly intense. Good shot. jano

Folks...want to come clean on this one... this cat is not blind...its a healthy cat with a better than 20/20 vision.
Liked the way the eyes stood out in this one, dreamed up the title (and defending it).

Thanks Yvonne, Jano for the comments.
To me the senses (see/hear/feel etc etc) is what make me aware of my surroundings. To me, to be blind... to be in total darkness... not able to see, visualize (not able to take pictures) is an ultimate isolation.

This is an interesting shot - but I fail to see the connection to the challenge :) If the cat is blind and deaf I feel for him - but I still lack the connection with this image, as it connects to a football match? Or is it the trembling of the timbers that connects him? jano
