Charlie, King of All He Surveys

A lovely shot, Dave!

A nice shot Dave!

My goodness, that was fast! This is the official portrait of the latest addition to our household--the kitten we brought home from the SPCA yesterday as our daughter Clara's Christmas present. For me, it was another excuse to play with my present, the incredible Pentax 77mm/1.8.

The Official Portrait

Beaitiful model,beaitiful shot.

Very very cute. Happy new year. Kostas

Hi Dave, very nice shot, excellent sharpness. Regards.

Beautiful! And you and the lens did a good job too :-)

 

He's taken up residence for the moment in the warm purring electronics beneath my work station--a habit, I'm afraid, we'll need to discourage.

Nice Shot Dave. Good Work.

What a cutie! Great capture! Take care

Sharp lens + cute kitty + abundant talent = one terrific cat portrait! Great use of DOF to isolate the kittens eyes and face. Was this shot wide open ?

Great shot, Dave!

some!!!

 

And to top it off, a lion's pose.

 

Perfect!

 

Happy New Year!!

Thanks! He's proving to be a very compatible member of the household, capable of coexistence with the dog.

 

No, not wide open: 800 iso, 1/90s, f2.8. Those mushrooms back in the fall taught me to be cautious about going too shallow.

 

Happy New Year, all!

very nice shot Dave, great details, good luck and happy new year 2008. Nima

Beautiful Cat and a Puuuuuurrrrrrrfect shot to boot. Excellent focus and limited d.o.f.

Regards and a happy 2008 to all

Congratulations on new kitty and Happy New Year! Charlie is a cutie. Great DOF here.

 

Best regards,

Thanks for your comments! By way of update, Charlie and our dog, Princess, have quickly become uproarious playmates. Best wishes to all of you!

Okay, so I've been having senior moments again and I forgot that I'd already seen this cute guy and ALSO have already commented on his image. I'll just retire to my cave...
