Cat Resting on Comforter at Friend's House

Yesterday had lunch at a friend's house. Her cat was resting on a comforter on the floor. I don't have that many images of animals.
This cat was cooperative and just rested there even though I was a stranger.  Black and pastels two different types of light for the camera
to see.  Unable to get the "catch light" in the eyes as light coming from behind the cat. It was not like I could tell the cat to poise differently. It wasn't long until she was licking her fur.  Did lighten and crop in PSE 11 so I could see the texture of the fur. Probably should have gotten lower and had her at my eye level. I did take with another P & S camera too.  

Fringe Tree Blossoms Close Up -also B & W conversion

Lately there has been a lot of hype about having a Fringe Tree in your yard and it is considered a native plant as well as an herb.  I like the petals of the blossoms as a close up and may use later for a texture background when I start doing more artisticdigital images.  The one on the left is the orginal in color.  The one on the right I converted to B & W "vivid" in PSE 11 but did additional contrast to make the leaves more black.  Will definitely be one I keep the images in my texture folder.

Ice Formation - Tadda B & W

Another ice image. This time I used Tadaa within iPhone to post process.
On my iPhone 5s screen it looked like the image was more backlit. Looks different on the computer monitor. I liked the swirls and pattern in the ice when I shot the image. This looks more 3D with the depth. Original image had blue/yellow cast. I increased the clarity and converted using a B & W filter. In a way it reminded me of an ultrasound of an ? alien. Never saw that much hair. LOL
