Subject: [Leica] Kitty in Shop Window Upper west side 28.0 mm f/1.4 Nikkor

I shot about eight shots and five of them I've got eye contact but I liked
this one. Much because of where the hair line focus landed. I if you see the
H tag around his neck that seems to be the point I nailed in focus at f 1.4
with this remarkable 28mm lens.
So the kitty being a kitty is very aware that I am there. But it chose at
that moment to be not looking directly at me. I didn't take it personally.
Or I do. Such an eye contact thing has meaning we mere humans can never hope
to understand.
I knew it was lonely and didn't mind the company.

But normally I go for the eye contact to draw you in the eyes being the
window to the soul.
