The lens (and the shot) are great.

But what's with the $13,000 cat fur jacket? They might have found 
enough cat hair on the sofas for one jacket, but I don't think I'd 
want to leave my cat around there if the first jacket sold quickly. 
They might try to satisfy demand at a higher rate than one per year.
