A great shot here, very creative.
A superb shot with great description. I like the tone and the angle used. Nicely composed. Happy New Year.
Superbe compo et un traitement à la hauteur!
une architecture et une porte impressionnante! Le chat en reste surpris…
Impressive angle. Great tones and contrast. great use of the cat, this cat makes the photo more interesting.
Funny….i've seen this one before but on another blog. A popular spot to put on film
El gato soberbio, la iglesia impresionante, la composicion perfecta!!! chapeau
Bellissimo questo gatto gotico! Direi che si è scelto un bello sfondo per metteri in posa.
Superbe photo sur laquelle l'artiste méritait bien d'apposer sa griffe!!
Nice image!
I like the processing, and of this this small cat at the forground. It makes the shot more interesting!
Un beau cadrage que cette belle façade mérite bien.
Wonderful image – I presume the cathedral belongs to the cat.
Cute kitty on the left, nice touch and angle.
Great capture! Love the sepia tones and the cat in the corner. It is amazing to me the age of the building. My area especially its rare to find anything that is over 100 years old, if that.
liking the detail, and the cat is a great touch…
fantastica questa, che composizione, complimenti
WOW! Fantastic toning! Pretty dramatic. The cat fits very well to the rest. Also the pose of the cat is awesome. Great work!
