About the Image(s)

While looking through old images, I found this one. Taken in 2023. Buttercup still likes her boxes. Cell phone was used, opened and resized in photoshop.

Love this shot. What is it about cats and boxes? Buttercup is lone star sweet to be sure.   Posted: 07/04/2024 15:01:16

Great to see Buttercup again! She always seems to be up high and here she is again, this time playing hide-and-seek. You captured her just peeking out of the box, with one eye in the light and the other in the shadow, just begging you to come and find her. Nicely seen!   Posted: 07/05/2024 03:57:46

Ruth, what a great shot! Love how buttercup peeks through the opening on the box (the handle area). Her fur color blends so well with the wood-board in the back. You had a perfect model for the perfect shot :)   Posted: 07/19/2024 05:57:21

The image tells a great story and is really a photo within a photo. The composition, colors, and sharpness are really good. I like the placement of Buttercup in the right third, but I think enlarging the aspect ratio to include a little bit of the wall on the left would help in defining the image (assuming it is in the original).   Posted: 07/22/2024 15:17:43

Eric, thanks for our comments, No, the box on left was not in the original.   Posted: 07/23/2024 21:40:23
