This Week's Hot Pic: "Peeping Tomcat," by Sharon Skonetski, Running Springs, California
Sharon says: "I took this photo of my neighbor's cat a couple of years back. Using Photoshop, I cleaned up the image and made the eyes a bit bigger so they'd have more impact. I saturated the colors and cloned away some distractions around the edges. What really interests me about this photo is the intense look on the cat's face; he was in the fight-or-flight mode and seemed ready to spring into action at any moment."
