My Cat Flame

Saturday Self-Challenge: Animal Portrait

This week's topic proved a bit more challenging than I thought it would. First of all, the weather was not so good this week, so I couldn't get a good outdoor image. Then I took several indoor shots of both my cats, but the lighting was rather poor, and they wouldn't coorperate on cue, so I decided to "take a lemon and make lemonade" with the situation. I took the best image of the lot and processed it to look high key in B&W. I was so relieved that it turned out halfway decent! :-)

More than half-way decent. It's gorgeous, Val. I would frame this one! Nice lemonade. ;)

The original is also very pretty.

Das ist erstaunlich. Eine gute Entscheidung, b/w & high key.
Deine Katze hat nun den Blick eines alten, weisen Philosophen, Pam !
Volle Konzentration auf die Augen.
Viel besser als das PiP (der bunte Hintergrund lenkt ab, es fehlen die Kontraste).

Vielen Dank, Heidi! Ich stimme voll und ganz zu, was du über die Farbversion dieses Bildes sagst Deshalb habe ich es auf High Key geändert. Ich habe die Ablenkung des Hintergrundes nicht gemocht. ;-)

Such a cutie, Val !! You are lucky to have such a lovely pet !!
However I cannot accept your image in Fee NATURE as cats and dogs are not accepted (see the rules). Sorry, my friend !! A big hug to Flame tough !!!

Loving them both Val ... you sure do make good lemonade - lol! ;)

I'd also have been tempted to try combining the two shots to create some selective colour. Maybe by putting the high key shot over the other one and then deleting the eyes from the top layer to let the colour come through ... just an idea! :)
