One Photo This Time: Cat Tracks

I'm going to try again posting a photo to see if it will transmit. This was my first attempt at shooting animal tracks, and then I tested the software's line-and-label functions. There were also bird tracks but they're difficult or impossible to see in this image.

Yes, once it is pointed out I can definitely see a cat paw print. I think the problem with this pic, though, is the mud more than anything else.

Keep practicing. You might get this yet.

It's terrific mud, actually. I shot this in our driveway, which has several patches of very fine-grained sticky mud that take great impressions. The lighting was good. What's degrading this particular picture is the poor focus and, to a lesser degree, the light/shadow dynamics. I should've been able to get a good picture of this.

Is there a local community college or YWCA that offers basic classes in things like photography for very little cash outlay? Or someone you might be able to barter some of your harvest with who can teach you some composition and lighting tricks?

Dang. From my first look at the photo, I was expecting this to be a post about how the Mars rovers found evidence of feline life on another planet!

At first I thought this was some NASA picture from Mars or the moon...
