Definitely well titled and in superior mode too! I love the faces of cats and their characters too. This is a beautifully clear photo to see all of Trouble's beautiful face and featutes. The cute nose and mouth. And the intense look that seems to also have a slight "you are bothering me" look to it. And the folded paws. Really good to view. Good luck. Good clarity and colour.

Love the cat's name, I have a few that are exactly that, trouble. I like the angle of this photograph it gives the cat a real sense of power with you expand upon with the title. Love the detail and rich colors that you've captured as well.

    Her name fit her to a 'T"! Sorry for the pun, but she was a little imp and you often had to be careful you didn't trip over her. She was adorable though. Thank you so much for the lovely review. Smiles and Hugs, Helvi :o)

    My Godiva is like that, she weaves and rush pass my feet. She also likes to lay in the way at night so if I'm coming through the kitchen I don't see her and trip instead of walk the rest of the way in. Best, Alexis

This is a great angle for this shot of the cat! Nicely done with the focus. The background may be a bit bright but that is no biggie as the attention remains well on the cat. He is a handsome guy!

    Hi Jan, Thank you so much for the awesome review. I have always loved the pictures you have taken of you adorable dogs, so having you enjoy my pet picture means a lot. Chelsea is a sweetheart and so is her playmate,but I can't recall his name. I've been off FA for a while so I've forgotten. Anyways, Thanks again for the wonderful 5 1/2 star rating. Smiles and Hugs, Helvi :o)

A great one of your cat and yes the sphinx come to mind

They always look good when they are alerted to something

She stands out well against the light background and is well lit

Lovely and sharp and well exposed

You did the cloning well as I cannot see where it has been done

Great clever title. Trouble seems to be so focused. Great clear candid close-up view showing how majestic she looks sitting there. Beautiful photo, presentation and impact.Armymom
