This cat, resting in the shadows, sits upon a flight of blue steps leading to the second floor of a local building. I photographed it through a window. The window next to it displays a stenciled picture of a surfer riding a wave, giving us a sense of location. I retain a vertical strip of red window molding at the left edge of the frame. It appears again as a dividing line between the cat and the surfer, and eventually becomes a horizontal line in the lower right corner, leading the eye out of the frame. The warm light, deep shadows, and primary colors tie the image together and help define both the cat and the surfer.
