Shadow Play

I woke up one morning to see our Devon Rex 'Cleo' behind the curtain. I rushed to get the camera but she was gone. The following morning I tried to set this picture up with her, but she wasn't playing. After about half an hour I got it. Exactly as I had seen it the previous morning. I knew I had a good picture. Has won a few prizes and been exhibited at the London Salon.
