I never imagined I could get my cat to pose for a single photo, but I somehow got him to stay still for a moment while I snapped a few pictures.
I put him (the cat) on a small square table to keep him from being all over the place, shot the flash using sto-fen diffuser straight at him.
I used a fleece carpet over a door as background and shot the camera handheld. Post Processing involved converting to jpg when I had adjusted the levels in Canon DPP. Used high pass filter to sharpen, desaturated a few colors, curves and a bit of cloning in his left ear, to remove his registration marking. Resized, cropped and sharpened once again using high pass filter and Neat Image to remove some noise in the background.

4 - Quite a nice portrait of Wolfie, but the tail chopped is not good and the lighting seems a bit harsh. A few marks in front of the paws which are distracting.
