Hello Rick.
Nice capture with sharp detail where it counts. Too bad the BG wasn't close enough to be illuminated by the flash.

You are right, I had a cat like that once as well, he would bring it right to the doorstep all proud and everything. Thanks for the extremely kind words on this one. This is one of my all time favorites.Ken Ramos wrote:Reminds me of my old tomcat when he would catch a mouse and bring it to me to show. Beautiful shot Rick.
