Stalker, Lindos, Rhodes, Greece, 2011

The feral cats on this Greek island will usually follow people in the hopes of a handout. Knowing this, I waited for a group of tourists to walk through my frame, hoping that one of the many cats in the vicinity would follow along. This black cat obliged. I moved in with a 24mm wideangle lens to stress the cat, including the thrusting curb beside it. The curb, the cat, and the shadows of the tourists leaving the frame create four diagonals that pull the eye through the picture.

It was a wonderful hook, coiled in tension as the cat stalks its potential benefactors.

And the hook of his tail helps pull us in.
