There were actually two cats here, one on the tire to the left of the shack, but I couldn't set up the camera quickly enough for him. (He must be a digicam fan.) This guy just sat in the warmish sunlight and watched me the entire time I was there.
I like the many parallel lines in the background. I'm glad that you kept them square to the print. It really adds something unique to an already interesting shot.
Being an architectural photographer, I need some type of structure in my photos and feel what makes everything else work in your image...is that shanty!
