I love macro photography so it was a challenge to choose my shot for this week. Here is my beautiful boy Leo.

Thanks, Elyse. He loves to purr, although for a bigger cat, his purr is quite soft.

I think macro photography is cool too (though I didn’t know the name for it until reading your post just now 🙂 ). As long as no one macro photographs my face. Some things should be kept micro. But your Leo looks gorgeous!

I would definitely want to keep a macro lens as far away from my face as possible too, Carrie. But I agree, it works for Leo with all that beautiful, furry texture. Thanks.

Cathy, I love that you didn’t include the entire face but just this expressive bit. Nicely done as always.

Thanks so much, Janet. Yes, the highlights and shadows emerged well in this. Leo was sleeping on the floor by a French door and I loved the sidelight. Fortunately, he didn’t even stir!
