Mia meditating on birds

You may see a trend in my recently posted photos...about the only

thing I can manage to get a picture of these days is my cats (hate to

let the gear sit idle). As pet photos go what do you think? I

personally like this one since it emphasizes less the cute and cuddly

traditional side of pets. I think the chest fur might be a little

too blown out...comments or ratings appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Justin

Justin,

 

I like the contrast and lighting. It reminds me of TechPan which I love to use but is fickle about tones (well pretty much straight black and white) as it can be. Nice effect. (pets are always fun to photograph and getting a nice shot is not as easy as it may seem). Good job!

Well, I normally don't quite enjoy standard pictures of cat, but this one got my interest. I like the high contrast feel, and the noble " meditative " attitude of the animal. I have some problems with this kind of texture I perceive in the black - it's very distracting, since the shot is obviously meant to be pure... I would like to be able to feel what's happening at the edge of the black fur... Not see this edge could be fine, and to see it could be ok too... I can't tell here, I would need to look at a print... :-) Good idea, good try, and still quite succesful IMO...

I like the whiskers!

 

I know how hard it can be to get cat's to cooperate... Anyway, if the detail is there in the negative, try printing it down just a bit to pull some texture from her bib. If the detail isn't there, don't worry as it's still a powerful picture.

excellent work !
