When I saw Fiona sitting in a super bright sunpuddle, I knew I needed a photo. We have been seeing very little sun lately. While trying to take the photo, I continued getting my shadow in the frame. I kept moving to my left in an attempt to eliminate it, and this is what appeared. Astrid was in the window behind me with her paw on an electric Christmas candle trying to nom the bulb.
So I got a twofer…one sunpuddle kitty and one shadow kitty. This is as close as I can expect to see these two without hearing hissing.
As the photo was already interesting, I took a minimalist approach (not my usual method) to editing. Using Picasa, I cropped the photo, added the Lomo-ish filter, followed by the Posterize filter and then added the frame. A very light day of editing for me.
I am, of course, joining Athena and Marie’s Caturday Art Blog Hop. If you haven’t joined in the past, tap into you creative genius and give it a whirl.

That’s a very interesting photo. The colors and shadows would also make it good for Halloween.

It looks like the shadow kitty is holding some kind of weapon. Very Alfred Hitchcock like.

To me the shadow looks like Kokopelli, the trickster of American native lore… Nice trick Janet!
I thought it was a little ominous… like a serial kitty killer sneaking up on Fiona!
