Cat in the Tree

Photo taken November 25, 2012, Mountain City, TX, USA.

My cat Bailey has recently re-discovered climbing. He used to do it some, but in the past several days he is climbing a lot more. Yesterday I discovered him in a live oak tree in our backyard. Unfortunately, he usually is not a good model to take a photograph of. He either gets shy and turns his head, or runs away. That day he seemed to enjoy posing and I captured several good images. In this one I tried to use the small branch that was to the left to lead into the subject area. There was a bit of difficulty in setting the exposure as the photo was taken at 8:06 AM looking into a very bright sky which you can see poking through the leaves to the right and back of Bailey.
