Steve M. Harrington January 25, 2010
Wow! What an outstanding image, Patti! Its composition is compelling with its powerful lines. And then there is the juxtaposition of natural and man made patterns. We have a long way to go as a species to come even close to what nature produces, particularly when we mar our patterns with refuse and chewing gum.Laura L. Gonzales January 25, 2010
WOW, Patricia, this is beautiful!! Love the pattern on BOTH!! Excellent comp and presentation!! Laura #8330199Thomas E. Hinds January 25, 2010
Fantastic image so well entitled! I couldn't agree more with Steve's assessment of both our world and your wonderful photo within its confines! There is an opening up to it (if you get what I mean). The light is fantastic as if on a lonely, yet ornate street, the universe, (or the light bulb), makes one aware of that beautiful cat's shape and patterns, trumping the street's attempts! This is really, really something nice! #8330232Patti Coblentz January 25, 2010
Thank you each so much...I'm really pleased that you like this :)Patti #8330305

I thought I would never make it to the bottom here, Patti. Which is okay because my finger needed the exercise! :D (Now for the REST of my body! Lol)...I have just been enjoying your gallery again and I didn't recognize this one.What a beautiful kitty on such interesting patterns for a walk way. (Side walk??) Perfect title... :)
I am wondering if you took this one on your Italy trip??
I miss you. :) And I think of you, hoping all is well.
BIG BELATED CONGRATS on this BEAUTIFUL FINALIST, Dear Patti!!!
