Fast Asleep

A British Blue cat asleep in her basket. These cats have so much colour in their coats, blue and silver, greens and greys and warm reds and violets depending on the light. So it was a wonderful challenge to capture her using a range of colours, to get the warmth of her coat in the shadows against the blue highlights where the sun makes her fur shine.
