 20 mins to go and I took the shot I was thinking about while I was in Singapore only a few hours ealier. This has been on my backyard shed for many years. The lighting was terrible and the heat unbearable (35deg C+) so I took only two shots. The other turned out better technically but this is the one I prefered and originally had in mind. Three hours later the lighting would have been better but too late.

I know this will not do better than the mid 4's and probably wont appeal to many (if anyone) but I had to do it for me. We got this guardian cat when our kitten came home. He passed away 4 years ago when he was 16. I still look at this metal cat as the one watching over our garden just as Thomas used to do.

I think this might be a love it or hate it sort of shot. I love it :)
It's not often that a shot makes me genuinely laugh, but this did. Thanks. 7
