James,
Thanks for the critique. I do agree with you about where the cat is looking. I happened upon her as I was walking down the riverwalk. As I approached her, with each step, I wasn't sure when she was going to move away. She was looking at my feet and as the shutter clicked, she did move away.

As you can see, I am an amateur who has finally gone digital after a 7 year layoff of shooting film. (Funny how life get's in the way sometimes.) Going digital, is going back to school.
I appreciate the forum discussions and the knowledge gleaned.

Doug
