Photographer’s Note

Good evening,
I only managed to capture this cat taking a nap on the motorcycle seat before she got disturbed by the owner and wanished. I took a full advantage of the light conditions and early morning light that even emphasized already very rich colors of the wall and motocycle.
I hope you'll like it!
Best regards,

viktor

love this photo, the cat contrasts perfectly with the inanimate machine, while the colours on the bike nicely mirrors those of the wall. I also like the tight composition you've chosen, I find it focuses the viewer's attention on the main subject. lovely and lively shot, technically perfect too, thank you for sharing.
best,
Kristine

Hello Viktor,

Haha, decisive moment indeed. It is a great photo; the cat seems to be very content with himself. The motorbike was the best place for a sleep. The earthy tones of the wall behind are a good rustic backdrop to the main subject. The well used bike adds shape and interest to the scene. Very clear quality, I like it a lot. I would have probably walked straight mast this, so thanks for taking the time to capture.

Hi Viktor,
The rusty shades of colour on the wall and bike are wonderful, and I like the way you have cropped the bike to only show a portion but still with great details on it. The cat of course is a bonus and a great feature in the shot. Great work well spotted.
Regards
Wanda

hello Viktor,
I like the warmth of the the early light here. Your crop is a good one, allowing the cat to be perfectly placed in the frame.

Ahoj ,
vidíš jiného by to ani nenapadlo fotit, ale právě najít ten motiv, to je úkol. Ten se ti zdařilo splnit na 1* . Gratuluju, pěkná barevnost, pěkně to k sobě všechno ladí.

Viktor,

Very humouristic pic !
the cat and the "mobylette"
and for french people, the "mobylette" is the symbol of the sixties's.
Very good frame and sharpness.
