 Yes, my cat Hazel ... AGAIN! :)

Lots of dodging and burning, brightness/contrast, hue/saturation, selecive color, cropped, resized. Selected each eye and brought up the contrast and saturation even more. I also spot-edited something in the corner of her left eye.

I just absolutely love the way this turned out.

Right then, joke's on me as I now have to plough through 564 images and bump them all (yes, all of them) up. There'll be a third run through for fine tuning.

Golden eyes, golden fur, golden color cast. This shot is golden.

That was corny.

You get a 9.

I'll stop be annoying now.

Now.
