Dinner

Every so often you get to come across a shot you didn't plan for. I was showing my uncle my camera and while he was checking out the features I looked up to see this. I grabbed the camera out of my uncle's hands (much to his shock) and tried to compose this shot (I was scared the cat might move away before I was able to compose this the way I wanted to). Luckily I was showing uncle the zoom lens so I didn't have to waste time changing lenses. The moment I saw the cat I knew exactly what was on its mind.... Dinner.

Since the bird house was on a pole (specially for such an occasion) I decided to put the hunter at the bottom right of the frame and the hunted at the top left corner. Unfortunately my canon only has 7 focus points to choose from and none is on a diagonal line so I had to choose between focusing on the birdhouse or the cat. I chose the birdhouse. If you look closely you can see the cat watching the bird house.
