Tokyo’s dark and dingy alleyways are often good hunting grounds — this one being no exception. I certainly got lucky, and the way this cat was eyeing a small hole in the wall, I suspect he may have done too.

Wow! I love everything in this photo. I wished I was there with you 🙂
Lee says
Thanks! It was a nice moment. Cats usually run off the minute I go near them, but this one didn’t move at all. A first I think.
Martin says
Now that’s an alley and well cared for alley cat. Got to appreciate Japan’s love of cats.
Lee says
It is, isn’t it? Cleary enjoying a day out slumming it!
Al says
Look at those eyes. Beautiful! Then look at that alley! 😉
Lee says
Quite a contrast eh? Don’t know what the owners would think if they knew where their beloved pet spends its days!

This picture is really something else. Did you do any post-processing on this image or is it as it came from CCD? Love shallow depth of field.
Lee says
Thanks a lot.
I did, yes. But not a great deal. Just basic stuff such as contrast etc. One of those shots that came out really well.
