Beyond the visuals, photography captures our sense of touch with texture. Here I’ve used Moog’s paw and a textured blanket shot with the camera’s creative visual HDR mode. It does not take much for this subject to become ‘touching’ too!
One for Monochrome Monday – requiring just a minor reduction of blue saturation

apologies for the pun but …purrfect and touching too! 😉
I was tempted by that one too Marina 🙂

There is something about the tone with in the image that seems to evoke a mood.

Texture, sure, yes. But where my seeing began to circulate had so much to do with composition (with credits to subject included), as well delivered so unexpectedly. Truth when first observed, half a heartbeat at least, wondering, what is this? Only after, did I have names given to what’s in view. Do we call that direct seeing? I don’t know. But the experience is honey sweet.

‘direct seeing’ – oh yes Neil – before cognition kicks in. Am reading Howarth’s “The Mindful Photographer” and that is one of the practices
