ditto...my cat never does either (unless she's begging for food that I'm eating)

I love this picture and the expression on the cats face, Just a suggestion try taking out the light source from the picture and just show the cats face

Your photo reminds me of a cat from Harry Potter or some other charming movie, wonderful expression!

I typically am not a fan of cats (allergies) but the way you captured the intensity of this young cat and the creative way of lighting the face is first rate. Well done!

This is a terribly smart picture, great! The choice to leave the light source in, I don't know.... It takes away some of the mystery but it adds to the strength of the idea. Prob. a good decision to leave it in.

Beautiful. Even more poignant as it looks like our tortoise/tabby who we lost recently. Stunning. :@)

I don't understand why this image didn't rank first. Although the dog picture is quite good I don't think it's as special as this one. You see so many of these dog pictures whether it's in a forest or like this one jumping into the water. Pictures like this beautiful lit cat you don't see that often. I really like it.

Location
The photo was made friends cat in their home.Time
About midday was the time when I take the photo.Lighting
In lighting I was useing one speedlight and also I was useing wireless flash transmitter. I placed the flash on the ground and then cat were so curious about that thing, so she had to take a look.Equipment
Camera was canon 650d, lens canon 50mm 1.8stm , flash metz 58 and also flash transmitter to activate flash in distance.Inspiration
I mas inspired by the cat who was so curious . Thanks to her I had an idea that what happend when I but my flash on the ground , does she comes to smell it and can I take a photo of thant. Lucky me she came.Editing
I add a little bit contrast and sharpnessIn my camera bag
My photographic equipment normally is this: Camera: Canon 650d Lens: canon KIT , Canon 50mm 1.8stm, 60mm tamron macro and tamron 70-300 Flash: Metz 48 + Flash transmitter ( - ) Tripod: vanguard altra pro 263AT Nero Tigger Studio: neewer 360 w studio kitFeedback
To take this photo you only must have curious cat and little bit luck. Put the flash on the ground and when the cat is coming to smell the flash just take the photo on the right moment. It is that simple.
