Description
It's in our nature to fear you
Even when you pose no threat
It's our basic instinct to imagine the worst
Please forgive our behavior from the other side
You seem harmless right now, walking with your head down
But we can't trust you further than we see you
Just as it is in our nature to fear you
It is your basic instinct to harm us

i absolutely love the concept behind this. this is just too cute. i love how the grey cat is seated while the white one is standing behind it almost as if saying, 'it's ok, he can't get us. i got your back.' i know i just fav'd a couple of your shots but being the cat lover i am and a sucker for such conceptual shots, i'ma have to fav this too

This photo is very powerful, especially when combined with artist comments.

Beautiful, now from reading the comments I can see the angle from which it seems the cats are happy to be free, but I must admit the instant I saw it I nearly cried. All I could think was "the cats look so thin and small and far away" and of how unbelivvabley lonley they look, even though they're right next to eachother. And it's odd though, that I see them as small and far when actually they are much closer to the camera making them seem much larger than they would be actually next to the dog and erson. Whoops I've begun to ramble. Again beautiful shot

Reminds me of what my father keeps telling me as I go away on dive trips: water is not our natural environment, so potencially everything in it presents a threat, no matter how harmless it may seem. 
P.S.- my parents are now in Tel Aviv for a 4-day event. Actually, the 10th was the last day, so they'll back heading back now...

I believe that you post processed this picture adding a lot of blur in the background thanks to photoshop.
I don't think you can get that blur only with a 135mm, F/2.0

the cats seem jealous at the sight of the dog with his owner...
or... relieved they don't have to be on a leash?
