You don`t see Cats on a lead very often , His Harness makes her look very cute . I can see you got nice and low down , the only off put for me is the backgrounds , hard to avoid it appears , and not keen on the flare in one . But as these are pics and memorable of your pet , none of that matters to my mind .

I agree The messy BG does detract from this lovely cat

You don`t see Cats on a lead very often ,

When we were first married, we lived in a flat on London's Haverstock Hill. Aquiring a kitten meant we had to also aquire a collar and lead to excercise her on Hampstead Heath. I failed to take pictures of the expresions on the faces of passers by when they saw our tiny cat emerge from the long grass...

Right I took some pictures in a slightly better location.

The 1st and 2nd mages are a little spoiled for me as the Cat had a pole growing out of the top of its head I do like the low angle though

Something to look out for on any image of Animals and people

also try to expose for the subject ( CAT) not the background

No3 is the better image

2 mins in Photoshop just for fun - removed the pole & Grass stalk -Increased exposure on the cat- removed the lead and took the subject off centre - I will remove it if you wish?

I have Lightroom too, but prefer Photoshop for editing
