That’s well-composed bit of photography, with the light slashing across the gate, the reflection on the tile, and the cat looking out.

Thanks for the compliment! Once in awhile we get lucky! My photography instructor told me years ago that you can tell the quality of a photographer by the size of their waste basket 🤓.

... and the cat being right in the focal point of the lines separating the lit and shaded areas. Very pleasing to look at.

It's just a flat-out nice gate and patio, too.

Costa Rica is a beautiful and wonderful place. People are so warm and amazing to be around. Where did you meet this noble beast?

[–] Speculater 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He was the hotel's pest control. He just begged for food or killed bugs. He was a very sweet boy!

I want your gate/door. A perfect fit for the feel, and yes, your photography did it justice.

It was at our hotel, but thank you!

@[email protected] Are you able to upload the photo to the post again?

[–] Speculater 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh! I don't know what happened. I'll post again. Should I do a repost or try to modify this one?

[–] Alchemy 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think it wiped a bunch of photos when there was the lemmy.world server issue last week.

If you go in to edit this post and upload the photo again and save, it should restore it.
