Shadow Cat – my cat, Chai, kindly leaves me his sheddings on my bed, most afternoons, where I can collect them with a sticky roller. Isn’t that nice of him?
I took all the color out of the original and used the “split-tone” function in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4.3, to get this warm tone.

I bought some mini mums in the grocery, the other day, mostly because I was seeing picture possibilities in them. Among the most prominent, to my perceptions at the time, was the triangle shape. Here’s one preliminary play on that theme element.
It was fun finding the triangles in a bouquet of circular blossoms. For added value, I also made a series of 6 shots from the same point of view, but focused throughout the depth of the flower, combined by focus stacking in Photoshop CS5. Lighting was electronic flash filtered through a white translucent umbrella. Some Lightroom enhancements of the final stack returned the warmth of the blossom centers to what I could see, and enhanced the sense of depth by last stage tonal tweaking.
"Looking Glass", one of the four entries in a group show at Unity Church of the Triangle (Raleigh, NC). The theme of the show is "Looking In", and will hang until the first Thursday in January.
