Jack The One Eye Cat

Brilliant shot!

This is a super capture, the cat staring at you and the bird appearing to want to land on “Jack’s” head!! Excellent!!! :-)

Arrr He’s lookin far a meal ..LOL He must think he died and went to Heaven…LOL Nice capture

Fantastic capture, Von. Really great photo.

Great shot!

Great shot, love all your work.

Cool shot, love the empty space around the cat LOL!

Cat among the pigeons… This has a wonderful timelessness about it somehow. Its really quite beautiful. Love it .)

fabulous shot

Oh poor Jack.. so out numbered. Great picture!

What an amazing capture.That cat is fantastic

I wonder if that cat died and went to kitty heaven. I hope my cat never sees this, she would be SO jealous! LOL

Very cute image, great job!

Oh my he is certainly a scruffy looking little fella isn’t he? He must be no threat to the birds- they seem trusting enough to turn their backs on him and go about the business of finding food. They must be friends? I really love the bird in the air!! That is lovely!!

just in time!!

So many birds….so little time !

I really love this – the humour appeals to me.

So mystic love this one

Wonderful image. What a great story telling image. interesting to see how the radius around the cat is clear from pigeons. even a one eye cat can be dangerous. Excellent capture of the bird in flight. An instant fave for me.

BEAUTIFUL SHOT

amazing shot… to get the one bird with such a stunning wing span contrast against the mangy cat is brilliant..well done

I think a bird may have pecked his eye out in the past. It looks like he may be a little more respectful towards them now. Great Shot.

he could have kept his eye if he found a better group of friends

Very funny :) great capture !

great photo, if only cats could fly lol

this is gorgeous!! great capture! :D

ok, ive looked at this picture before but for some reason, this time i looked at it…it just struck me as being so powerful. the placement of the cat and the bird in flight…it just keeps your eyes moving and on it. so wonderful!

awesome shot!! -)

brilliant, like the birds know !!!!

I simply love this.

“Cats in the coffee, and mice in the tea…” My goodness, today everything seems so confusing!
I adore this shot!

Love it!!!

This is great, good eye.

lol..perfect scene..and beautifully captured !!

Super capture, you’re a quick shot to catch that bird so beautifully.

love this one so much!

What a fantastic shot. Talk about cat heaven

How nice that little cat sitting between all the pigeons, Beautiful moment!

the expression on that cat’s face is almost as priceless as catching that bird in mid flight – this is an awesome capture

CLASSIC!!

excellent capture
like it a lot

Wow what a cool capture

You really captured a moment here! Great shot.

i think the bird lying over kind of made this picture even better.
great story,

Great spot…......I mean shot

Poor Jack… I’ll just have to take him home… Wonderful capture…

Great capture

This is an incredible shot… exceptional composition and the tones are wonderful.

I’m hoping that the fact that he only has one eye has nothing to do with the other being pecked out! Thought this was PR for a minute with all of those pigeons. Love the description you’ve given this shot. Sweet.

I really like this photograph…there’s an irony to it, that relates to all our lives! Wonderful!S

Whoa!!! what a great grab! by you – not the cat! What’s wrong with him? All them there birds – he could have his pick of the litter – so to speak! hahahahaha

MEOW!!! Gorgeous shot! Jack is my new hero :P

Too good!:)

This is just awesome! What a character you found that day!

LOve Jack! Well done!

LOL great shot, love your story too :-)

I am so suprised they let him sit there like that. What a scruffy mangy little guy, but so cute and hes definatly got some tuff as cat attitude going on. Great capture

great capture Von !

This is a stunning masterpiece of photographic prowess. It is perfect in every way. THAT you caught the one-eyed bandit is utterly astonishing, and then, the birds, AND the composition? The cat’s expression, that bird, wings spread like an avenging angel, in flight, to save his kind???

THIS IS AMONG THE FINEST IMAGES I HAVE EVER SEEN. AND THAT’S AFTER YEARS OF COLLEGE DEGREES AND OTHER MEANINGLESS PURSUITS! All made worth it, at this moment, as I view THIS piece, and sit, in stunned silence.

THIS IS PHOTOGRAPHY.

Always did love this one! Jack looks quite perplexed yet intriqued lol. Perhaps he was either in his glory with all those birds or felt alittle unsure on how he should get out of the situation lol.

wow this is a fantastic capture!!! absolutely sometihng that you never see … a cat amongst all those birds just sitting there ..love it !!

Fantastic work Von!!!!

What a brilliant capture of ordinary life, being extra ordinary.

I think that pigeon is thinking, “Yes! That guy has him distracted, now I can poop on his head! Buwahaha”

Right then…

Oh, Von … I’m laughing!!! He’s sitting among the birds, quietly, contemplating his lovely brunch and hoping you don’t scare it all away!!!! But what a FABULOUS candid!!! Just read Amanda’s comment … and laughing even harder now!!!! Darling, darling image!!!!! Well found and well shot!!!!!

Fabulous Von it looks like it should be made into a movie,”Von Dolittle” heehee
Cool work,you really are amazin.:)

I think that you may have interupted a secret political meeting.
You know, members of the mafia come in all shapes … and all sizes.
I can imagine Jack the Cat saying:
“Hey, I thought I said no cameras … Vinnie (the flying bird) get that guy out of here.”
Fantastic job.
But, I do fear for your safety.

The cat doesn’t happen to belong to “Billy Bob” does it? lol Looks just like him.

This is a very interesting and well shot find!!!Love It!

freakish and extraordinare!

This is a really neat shot, Love it..well done..Miss P

How have I missed this piece of monotone genius???

Von, you Rock, Sir!

You set a great mood in this shot!

Really nice work…love it.

Just like Roy barry i just do not know how i missed this one it is absolutely superb in every way, fantastic and i will just have to favorite it too…....thanks for drawing my attention to it through your journal and congrats on 8 sales so far…....i say that as i know there’ll be more!!

It is great Von that poor cat doesn’t know which way to turn . Brilliant shot .

Perhaps he couldn’t see them , he looks a bit bedragled poor thing .

That is one sorry looking cat !!!! What a great shot Von !!!

I’ve never seen anything quite like this!! Outstanding work executed flawlessly in a momentuous flurry of action!
I DO believe Jack’s one good eye is fixed on the white bird in flight. That - and everything else about this image - make it a real masterpiece.

Good old Jack. The cat amongst the pigeons spoilt for choice! A great story picture. :-))

LOL…. Sure he knows he’s a cat and supposed to chase/eat birds….that’s why we don’t have cats, according to my husband they kill birds, well don’t tell this one, quite like the idea of a bird -friendly cat.

fantastic shot…love it..
the look on the cats face….the pigeon in flight….full of humour really good :D

What a fantastic capture this is Von!!! :)

great find..well done..love your work a please to view your gallery

so cute – lovely shot!

I love this shot – Jack among the pigeons .. and they’re paying no attention to him whatsoever…... I’m glad you did. Lovely scene.

In Menorca and Andalucia we saw loads of stray cats, but last month in Barcelona I can’t remember seeing any … loads of dogs though … ah … there’s my answer :) I don’t think the birds are afraid of this little guy :)

OK ,HOW DID YOU DO IT?

Magic stuff, Von!

This is brilliant! Like one of the old masters of photography’s classic black and white images, super work, well done!

excellent

Jack is a survivor and one of my newest “Little Heros!” This is such a moving picture with so much going on! Magic! Amazing work amazing capture! Glad Levi sent you my way! :]

Great capture! Animals have a funny way of knowing when an animal is injured or less impaired as Jack the pigeons don’t seem to afraid to mingle around him:):)

oh so rad.

I love this!!!!!!

WOW what a great image…fantastic shot!

oh so cool…
great shot!

It’s an awesome shot. I’m so glad Little Helen published your interview so I found your work. I’m not a fan of pigeons, but this shot is magical :)

Amazing capture!

Great capture! Love how the pigeons couldn’t care less about the kitten’s presence. ;)
