That cat looks ticked off for sure. I would obey the warning. -COAmature

There's a lot going on in this one and that's what makes it more visually stimulating than the open window version. Example, the top slat of the blind cuts off the frame before the edge and draws the eye laterally across, which links left and right. The originally posted version is missing this element, so the image is much simpler and more static. I don't mind the reflections either because they add to the action by bringing the outside inside, so to speak. The cat placement is far more subtle in this one - lurking at the extreme corner distant from the sign.

Trust your eye man. This one is excellent and I think you knew it or you wouldn't have asked. Good title too. -tv

Yes this is the one Tom, the other one with the open window may be a nicer shot of the cat but this one is more ahrrrty mate. The reflection adds to the feel of the shot too. Well done mate:-)

Thanks tv, I went & swapped them (again). This is the one I originally posted. OK, so I''m spineless.

You have another one I like much better. This cat has a meaner look because of the angle, but the composition is less interesting. The other one is funny too. tv

Very cute and funny Tom! He does look like part of the "neighborhood watch" program, AND a little crazy, or at least fierce! CJ
