CAT!

My friend adopted a stray kitten. Super friendly, don't like the camera though, kept turning her head away. While outside the house on a cloudy day, I had to bump my ISO to 1250 to get these.

Obviously I desaturated the photos except the eyes. I did brighten (dodge) the eyes.

That's a pretty kitty.

I really like #3

Loved it; yet avoiding the mouth is not a good idea, provided you include nose; so i like three; nice cat indeed; you must work with her more

Sorry, but then the username would have to change to a molested cat, right?

just curious.

I keed, I keed,

I actually like the detail, the eye color, and the silvery goodness of the cat. The eye and contrast to the coat in #4 are pretty nice, as far as cat shots are concerned.

It's a cool looking house cat, awesome. It's like an urban safari. It's a bit better than some shots that everyone else with a cat has.

Number 3 is nice!

The last looks very like a photo of my cat which I took and PS'ed, selecting colour for the eyes only (!), back in 2006 when - for a short while in my life - I felt compelled to test selective colouring.

Overall I like the second one best. Very nice, though.

Thanks guys. Well, my friend left town for good this afternoon with the cat meowing all the way on the train. She's a noisy one for sure. This is the first cat that I took time to photograph even though I had literally 1 min with her. All the others were just strays, so I've never had the chance to photograph one up close until this time. Hope I've more chances in the future.
