 Yay... a top 10... thanks all for the votes...

This was in many ways a lucky capture... my cat Ruby was jumping about the garden chasing butterfly's and I was able to grab a quick sequence of shots... on of the frames captured this interesting pose..

so, thanks to Ruby and the D3's framerate and AF :-)

LOVE the claws out! And hope the butterflies were just that wee bit faster than Ruby. Great shot - very enjoyable in the challenge, STILL has tons of appeal, and congrats on the top ten!

A terrific image of a feline Barishnikov - richly detailed with nothing out of place from both a technical and artistic standpoint - a complete success in every way. Well done.
