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.

What a cool art photo, we don’t know how we missed it, cuddles to Fiona…
What a weird shadow!
That is such a cool photo!!! It is one of our favorites we’ve ever seen. Very neat.
Sending lots of love and purrs, and of course Sampy sends extra purrs and kisses to Astrid!

That’s a very interesting photo. The colors and shadows would also make it good for Halloween.
What a happy coincidence! I have a couple that might even object to a shadow touching them…
Lovely photo Janet..we had about 2 hours of sun here yesterday; it has been weeks of grey & cloudy weather….BLAH!!!!
Much love to all there, Sherri-Ellen & Siddhartha x0x0x0x0x0x0x0x0

This is a great pic. We love the shadow kitty. Did Astrid get yelled at for nomming on the candle?
The silhouette is very artistic and a little spooky.
Pawsome pic! We <3 it! xx Roxy & Tigerlino <3
Wowee!
If you had tried to ‘capture’ that picture it wouldn’t have happened! Its great!
Wow what a great effect. Love it! I love to try and get the silhouettes in a photo it takes a lot of patience with my kitties.

It looks like the shadow kitty is holding some kind of weapon. Very Alfred Hitchcock like.
That’s a very mysterious looking photo!!

Very cool picture!
I love this! This is awesome! We think you should frame it. We would. ~xo~
Great photo,love what you did with it,xx Rachel
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!
That is serendipity indeed! And evfur so ‘cool’!
If you had tried to do that it wouldn’t have happened, MOL!
We love this! What a fun holiday photo!
Hope you kittehz have a great Caturday.
