What Percy Shaw

Very difficult subject as DJW and I were discussing over too many beers at the weekend.

So, I've gone for an abstract crop.

Nikon D70, 24mm F2.8, F8 + flash and one blind cat.

Hope you get the title!

Matt.

I like the tight crop on this shot. Not sure if it's strange but is certainly is a bit menacing.

I bow before our feline overlords...

Thanks guys. I kind of thought the crop (and perhaps the unusual eye colour) makes it qualify as a strange/abstract shot.

It does look quite menancing - almost wolfish. In reality Buxton is a right softie.

I agree with everyone else, not really strange, but a great shot. Nice one!
