studio lighting Stalker in the urban jungle...

Exposure is tricky with a two-toned cat. Exposed one layer for the

whites and one for the color, then combined. Comments?

A beautiful shot with a very nice expression, Kim! Best regards, Ruud.

Hi KIM. What is about "let her a bit out of the frame". Wonderful pic of a cute little cat.

That's an idea, Fritz. Quite effective. Thanks for taking the time to comment, guys.

A delicate and attractive kind of beauty. :0))

Kim, you did nicely & different job for your super model again, love the pair of crystal eye as always___pretty & charming!!! Best regards.

Too too cute. The double exposed layer treatment worked really well; the result is superb.

Thanks, guys. Mark, it's the only way to handle whites, I think. I love working with layers in PS.

Fantastic capture. Sharp, great lighting, and you have captured the beauty .

 

Excellent job Kim!

Beautiful kitty and beautiful shot!

Way, way too cute Kim :) The eyes tell the story :)

Yeah, I'm afraid he's a keeper! I'm going to get a little Santa hat and cape for him and see if I can get some shots for Christmas cards. When he sleeps, he crashes! I can probably sneak some outfits on him and try for a picture or two. :)

He is such a doll, he looks like he's about to pounce:) Like Im gonna ge cha camera, Im kinda partial to orange ones myself.(got three:~) Great capture.. Cheers Cole

Awesome! Great detail on those eyes! Beautiful kitten:)

Thanks, guys. Now that we've decided to keep him, he's become quite the wild kitty - stalking, pouncing, biting! When we hadn't made the decision yet, he was such a sweet, gentle kitten. :)

Those poor mice haven't a chance. One look into those big beautiful eyes and they will just stop in their tracks. Who couldn't fall in love with this kitten? :-)

Wow! What incredible eyes! The color and texture and lighting are just right.

How did you get him to stay still long enough for two exposures in the same position? The technique works really well . . (not to mention the skilled photographer). ..

 

She is a real sweetheart, beautiful eyes , and ready to pounce. I like the way the body moves out of the frame.

Donna, I shot in RAW, slightly underexposed. I then made layers, with one layer exposed properly for the whites and the second layer exposed correctly for the darker colors. Combined the layers and brought back the partial layer with the whites (that weren't blown out). If your original shot is overexposed and the whites blown out, you can't do that, but with it slightly underexposed, it keeps the detail nicely.

sweet..nice...i like it

Very nice shot! Nice clarity and detail- you can see the individual hairs and whiskers. I love the look! Very natural colors also. Well done!-Best Regards, Marty

Thanks, guys! He's become quite the little tiger these days!

Wonderful work, Kim. Your technique with the camera and photo editing are off the charts with this cute little kitty. Very well done.

Beautiful work, I love the eyes...Best regards, Catalin
