Talk about spectacular, this, too, fills that bill perfectly.   Posted: 10/11/2020 06:22:21



 
I've spent a lot of time looking at this - it's fascinating and I wish there was more information about it. What is the significance of three black cats? Really like it.   Posted: 10/19/2020 12:15:15

no special significance..........Just thought the arches needed an additional element   Posted: 10/19/2020 17:15:51

The dramatic lighting of the decoration makes the scene glow. I feel the shadows on the cat could use a bit of directional adjustment due to the overhead light source.   Posted: 10/20/2020 12:43:54

This was taken in Boca Raton last December. I cloned out some distractions and added the 3 cats to keep it from looking static.   Posted: 10/24/2020 20:19:15

I see your black cats are back... I remember them from Santorini (or some other Greek isle). I think they are positioned well... make the viewers wonder what they are up to and what they are thinking. The faint building lights in the background don't do much for me, but they don't distract, and I don't think I'd like to see the background pure black.   Posted: 10/25/2020 14:17:34
