13 of 24

La Boca, Buenos Aires

when i came close to that bench, I saw these three "guys".
One second after I captured them, those two at the ground began fighting and ran away..
but I kept on watching the white one at the window.. and I remembered a lyric of a tango ..
the title is "Ciruja" ..a word of our slang, meaning "vagabond"..

Face to face showing big courage
the two brawlers crossed knives
in the dark, the Ciruja
faster with the knife
made the pimp pay too dearly his love.
Out of jail now and with no maiden,
staring at the sun on the sidewalk,
thinks awhile in the girl's love..
and sobs in his pain

Great shot - I love the lyrics and the association.

Very well balanced composition with brilliant lighting. Even the cats know where they want to sit for a perfect image:)

A special quiet feeling! Great!

No pussyfooting here Silvia, this is a truly catching shot. Wonderful scene, colour, light, shadow play and that moment of getting catty in the true sense of the word. Great composition and timing, just beautiful. Big vote.

Cool. I didn't notice the white one in the window unless you had pointed it out.

This is one of my favorities. I like the combination of words that fit the picture so well. You can feel the tension in the two cats on the left while the other looks on.

The loneliness of fight.
It's amazing, but when animals ( and people???) fight against each other, they are always lonely, even though they have a direct physical contact.
I like the moment you captured with the cats ready to fight for their territory, all that in the pastel colours of the environment.
A remote tango harmony comes to us from an half open window...

not there is an angle that you do not succeed to watch with the poetry... your eyes you go beyond the image

Know I know , we had a orange cat on the bench but it sure does look like a potential stand off of who the bench belongs to .
Love cats ,and this is a great close up to follow up on your last mystery image.
Great color and nice image and nice caption .
