What a gorgeous cat, Annie. I can see why you hated to leave him. Such a beautuful portrait with a lovely straight on view. Excellent post processing seems to me to emphasize the face rightly so. It commands the piece from first glance.

Very attractive portrait of this cat. It reminds me of my own in many ways. Interesting lighting and processing of this shot. The topaz filter works well to add the feeling of paint strokes to the image. Well seen and presented.

Annie,
A beautiful picture of this most handsome Grey Tabby Tom Cat with his white bib & front paws gazing into your very soul as he reads your thought, almost before you've thought them. As he stands out clearly from his dark background. Artistic composition framing and lighting taken with superb camera techniques and sharp focus.
Susan

Exquisite!!! Excellent details, love the look captured on his face and the sharpness of his eyes and whiskers. The background is perfect so there are no other distractions to look at. It is very captivating and I could just stare at him all evening! Thank you for sharing! :) Jill

He is indeed a beautiful creature. I like the framing of this shot, and the focus is sharp. I love how the light reflects off his chest. A stunning capture.

Comment from michiganmike
Even though I have never thought of myself as a "cat person", I must admit that this one is quite attractive. I like the low light that gives you such a nice background and think the exposure for the white fur is perfect.
