Sunset Watcher

Not my usual subject but when the opportunity presents itself...

 

I had turned around to see what the sky looked like to the east on this particularly nice sunset evening to see one of our cats at the edge of the everpresent end-of-the-driveway puddle. He was moving around so I set up the camera and made some screeching noises which froze him in his tracks long enough to capture three bracketed images. There is a 12x18 print of this hanging in my wife's office and she tells me it gets more comments than any of my 20 photos hanging there. :)

Since I have had little time to get out and shoot new images I've gone into the archives to search out shots that might benefit from processing skills developed over the past year. This is one of those.

 

Happy New Year to all!! :)

 

Please take a moment and click on the image to see it large on a black background. Or open the "Original" size for a good look at "Fluffy"(he's cool with the name I think). Thank you in advance for looking at my work and for any comments, critiques and favorites. :)

And please, please don't use my images without my consent.
