Herbert the cat

This cat of my cousin is awesomely photogenic and reacts to me holding a flash in his face like a professional model! Even though, photographing an agile cat like him is rather hard to do and I only had a minute before he went of, strolling around the house. I like this shot, because it looks like the world is lying to his feet and he is about to jump and catch whatever he is eyeing.

The lens-flare looks like a grid when viewed close-up. Don’t know if it is a dirty lens or what.
