The first is absolutely wonderful.
The only thing that could make it better was if the ball was a bit more separated from the door.

Thats prolly one of the easiest and spontaneous photos i've ever taken and it came out more successful that 90% of my photos haha,
Everyone I show it to, likes it. (Not to sound cocky) But thanks man, I agree with you on the ball part too, I wanted to remove it from the shot completely but I was afraid she'd run..

Love the cat shot. You're lucky you had your camera so close at that moment ;-)

It's a great shot.
Luck plays a part, a big part, in most unposed photos - just being there with a camera handy.
The picture in my sig was lucky.
I was going by in a train, saw the situation ahead and had my camera in my lap - lucky to be there, to see it, to have the camera ready.

thanks
you were looking at a low-res one.
If you want a print, that's something else again.

The cat shot is really impossible!!! i love it like anything...traveler had made a meaningful modification too

Hey traveler, did you take that from a moving train?

Regards

 

[The_Traveler]

I think thebasedsloth, the op, really has a wonderful shot and he should keep it forever.

The edit I made was really not satisfactory because I didn't match the color and shading well;
that modification would be much better done on a full res image.

I did do the edit while on a moving train going downhill without brakes on a rough track and being shot at by bandits.
I was on my way to do medical work amongst a lost tribe and save their entire village from the depradations of loggers and miners.
And, of course, I was suffering an attack of malaria that I first got when ................ (well, that's another story)

 

[The_Traveler]

And note that this was taken with a P&S.
It just shows that when a shot is good, the technical issues aren't crucial as long as they don't interfere.
The OP used what he had and got a great shot from it.
