It looks like you could crop most of that blown area without touching the cat. Or you could crop the cat and use the blown section as an abstract. (Sorry, I'm tired I guess).

I like the light on the cat's wiskers but I'm not sure you can save the wiskers and lose the light.

Thanks, Dave. Yeah, this was cropped. I like Oreo's look, but there is boring wall to his right, and I like the effects of the sun on his left. But, like you said, if it was a close crop, I would need to keep at least the one strip of light in order to keep the whiskers. So I kept in enough light to put Oreo's eyes in the upper left thirds, and I had to blur the screen. I guess it doesn't really work. Perhaps I was tired too. Thanks again. I've learned a lot from you in your other posts as well. Keep up the good word.
