 Our polydactyl cat Yeska. Unfortunately, you can't see her extra toes in this photo.
Yeska does not like to sit still for photos - heck, she doesn't like to be picked up or held either. I had to tempt her with treats to get her to stay still.
This looked really bad in color (had bad lighting) so went with a desaturated version.
Editing:
Crop/resize
adjust shadow/highlights
channel mixer - monotone
some slight cloning of dust spots

I can haz deep thoughtz? Nice pose, seems a little over sharpened, good saturation.

I'm wondering if a softer focus would convey "contemplativeness" better.

I really like the old fashioned feel of this - this could be a picture found in Grandma's shoebox in the attic.
