It kind of reminds me of our cat. Our cat doesn't have these eyes though. They are beautiful, a great almost irredescant blue. Cute face, pretty colors. Nice close up too. Great shot done well.

Yes, as I have never seen a cat with blue eye or one that showed up in a photo. Most often than not cats eyes reflect so much they change dramatically in color. The fact that you captured these shows much skill. Great work, good luck in the contest.

It was well worth your efforts. The cat's eyes are beautiful and your capture is crisp and clear. The close-up adds interest to the image.

Excellent composition. What I like the most here is fine balance between deep blue eyes,the most attractive part here,and different tonality of gray color. Also the role of pink nose should be mentioned as its contrast is very important in attracting ones eyes towards the face.
Perfect art work.

    Not at all. It is worth it.

I have never seen eyes on a feline like this before, unique and a keeper I say.

Your cat should be proud of this and should hang this by her scratch post to view on a daily basis.

All kidding aside, we see many, many cat images here on FAR, personally, they all begin to run together. This is unique and for once I a kat photo, fun to review.

I like the close up as it shows nice detail and it dosent even make me sneeze. BUT what I do like is her position in the frame, off to one side to let her fur cascade across the screen, it serves as a background.

Well you certainly separated yourself from the pack, not only in this post but with ever post you create. Your work is professional, spot on and unique, you produce a signature to your work. Bravo~

    Thank you so very much for the lovely review Tony. I am indeed flattered by your kind words about my work as well, and am almost blushing. I am really glad you like this cat photo, because I really had to work for it. Remember I am an old lady. Once I am flat down on the ground it is difficult to get up again. LOL

Beautiful close up of your cat. They are amazing eyes. They remind me of my cat's eyes. She's a Siamese and has very blue eyes. This cat's eyes are beautiful and stand out even more because of the surrounding black fur. I had to laugh reading about your adventures in trying to get a picture. They are not very cooperative. :) The clarity and lighting in this photo is very nice. Great light reflections in these gorgeous blue eyes.
