By Anouar Brahem
In the morning, one person of the group asked the guide "how come we do not see cats while dogs are plentiful"
Apparently cats do not fare well in altitude, in the rarefied oxygen, was the answer.
So to every rule, there is an exception, at least in the French language, I am presenting you the exception. As we were passing the open door of a small store, I glanced this cat, black against the white of the scale, watching the door, so I had to back a few steps, aimed to bring this image.
Hope you will like it, the moderators in particular.

Par Anouar Brahem.
Le matin même, une personne du groupe demande au guide la raison pour laquelle on ne voit pas de chats alors que les chiens sont nombreux? C'est parce que les chats supportent mal l'oxygène raréfié en altitude.
Comme dans la langue Française, il y a une exception à chaque règle, je vous présente donc l'exception.
J,ai aperçu ce félin, alors que je passais devant la porte ouverte d'un petit magasin général, noir contre le blanc de la balance.Je fis quelques pas en arrière pour ramener cette image.
En espérant que vous apprécierez, en particulier les modérateurs.

i am not a cat lover but this one is really cute... not only the chat noir but the compo in general is very balanced and successful charles... my compliments...

korkut

Bonsoir Charles,

Une belle image de ce chat noir qui contraste bien avec le blanc et rouge de la balance. La photo a une bonne composition, netteté et de jolies couleurs. Bonne soirée.

Pierre

Hi Charles,
Amazing contrast the cat has given the scene... it looks like a figurine actually. Well captured and composed with good image clarity. Well done! tfs
Cheers,
Renier

Maintenant que tu le dis, j'ai effectivement croisé peu de chat, peut etre 2 ou 3 pas plus...Il est bien beau celui la, seul ses yeux ressortent et c'est tres troublant !
J'aime bien la presence de la balance atlas...
TU m'as donné envie de me replonger dans les photos du Perou ;o)
A+

Hi Charles,
well your note I find very interesting about cats not doing so well in the thin air but dogs do. I wonder why that is. This is a different shot for you but I can understand why. Its not because the cat is pretty, or cute. Its just a demonstration that yes, there is at least one cat here..:o)
Hope your not superstitious seeing as though its a black one..:o)
TFS an interesting world

Salut Charles!,

C'est avec plaisir que je retrouve ta gallerie. Je suis un peu absent de TE a cause du demenagement. Tres belle photo, unique. Le chat te regarde dans les yeux et le fond avec la balance donne un 'gout' local a l'image.

A+

Flavia

Ghostlike eyes !!!!The black cat brings bad luck :)As Korkut said,me not a cat lover too,but this one is fascinating :)Good overall quality of this shot
A nice Sunday

J'aime beaucoup les chats. Celui est magnifique avec ses yeux qui contrastent avec son pelage de velours. Bravo.

Charles, le chat noir DANS la balance aurait été encore mieux!!!les yeux jaunes...tellement jaunes...
Bonne nuit,
Marc

Salut Charles
Une exception intéressante, puisque c'est le chat de l'épicerie qui est bien cadré et le contraste de l'image est bon.
Cordialement.

Bonsoir, Charles,
I love this shot. I once had a small cat that was that black and had such green eyes. I love the contrast against the white and the cat's relaxed pose just giving you that look. I like cats' attitudes.. Well seen and shown! Warm regards,
Shelly

Hi Charles,
A perfectly appropriate image, as you are presenting the cat within a cultural and physical context. I like the way the other objects in the scene complement and balance this fellow, particularly the scales. You were lucky there was not more reflection off the glass. The eyes here glow nicely for us. I like the shot very much.
John

Hi Cam,

I think this cat is wonderful (I love cats) and he seems to be used to cameras.

By the way... thank you for your suggestion (to create a theme for my favorite photos...).

TFS
Regards
Gatti Matti
