Challenge: National Geographic (Advanced Editing I)
Camera: Canon EOS-300D Rebel
Location: me inside, cat outside
Date: Jan 18, 2004
Aperture: F4
ISO: 200
Shutter: 1/800
Date Uploaded: Jan 18, 2004

Actually, just my timid outdoor kitty yawning, she looks mean though!
A test shot with new cam (300D) and first pics I took with news lens (70-200 F4L).
Only have took about 20 snaps with lens..
Image was taken inside - shot through a window--
Cat was on my sons 4-wheeler, and a bar was on the left side I cloned out, perfectly legal in this challenge, other adjustments, were just slight level and sharpen after resize--

Love my new cam, just expecting a 5.5 maybe lower, but I wanna play!

I apologize if ya seen the shot before, I posted it for comments a couple days ago, my advice on new lens..

i never realized cats had eyebrow whiskers - cool pic

Like the expression. Maybe a slightly smaller aperature would have brought more of the body in focus. Good colors.

Great timing!!!

Really nice expression. Beautiful facial focus. But it seems that there is too much retouching on its back (right side). If you crop the picture right in - just keeping the eyes nose mouth and tongue in, it retains its beauty and looks fantastic. It would have got a 9 but have had to mark lower sorry.

Love the facial expression!

Nice cat snap,7 from me!

Wow those wiskers pop! Nice use of DOF. What a fierce expression - those pointy white teeth, the ears twisted just so. My cats wish they looked this intimidating!

Hate cat pics, they are always just snaps of someone's pet moggie ........ but not this one. Great photo, almost enough to make me change my mind on cat pics. 8.

Love your bobcat, with he was slightly more in focus. His expression alone, however, is well worth entry in this challenge. Easily a 7 - may be back.

What a beatiful image. Congrats

this would have been great if it wasn't so blown out at the back. Make it look alsmost like a cutout.

One of the cooler cat shots for sure! It works quite well honestly.

I really like this picture!
01/19/2004 11:43:48 AM
I would have liked to see the whole cat.
01/19/2004 10:49:29 AM
Tell that cat to talk nice.....lol Wonderful capture.

Beautiful expression of the cat. The only drawback of this picture is the white background. Too white and the hair of the cat were cut abruptly. Still a good shot though.
