Many thanks to all who commented on the earlier submission -- you will be unable to detect the subtle contrast increase that is the revision, so please do not feel you need to comment again. Your enthusiasm has prompted me to re-enter and I do appreciate it.Patricia A. Coblentz
The lines with the contrast of shadows and light are awesome, Nikki! Love the story in the image, too!

There's something so poignant about a cat waiting patiently at a door to be let in...just grabs me every time! Love the lines and the many design elements in this one, Nikki, with the great shadow and light play - b/w is perfect for this! (Hope someone let kitty in! :) :)

We have an excellent story going on here, with chapters still to come. And it's told so well in black and white. I love the strong shadows and the angles of all and the patience of the cat waiting to come in.
