Default Sleeping cat

This was an impromptu sort of shot; the cat was sleeping on top of the couch, and I had the camera handy.

Very nice shot. I love the detail and the angle most of all. The contrast between the bright in the center and the dark on the top of the head and the tip of the nose is very beautiful. I would have cropped out atleast the blurry portion of the bottom. I love the depth-of-field to where the whiskers blur at the tips. And a very cute cat 8/10

Lovely cat picture. I had a black cat, recently deceased, and never could get a good shot of him. What's your exif info? I'm always curious about that.

I don't know about cropping the blurry part. It give the cat a reference point.
The detail in this is fantastic. Great, great, great work here.
