Sammy is a dog in a cat's body and the true baby of the family. He is a very large cat and has the personality of a golden retriever and he is very unusual and not very catlike really. He loves story time with my children and to lie by the fire. "Mouse Trap" is probably not the ideal description of him because I don't think he'd know what to do with a mouse if he saw one. He has incredibly blue eyes and my goal has been to enter a photo of him that would score over a 6.0. I waited so long for that dream to be realized and am very happy and appreciative of this result! I feel redeemed in his "eye" especially after the embarrassing entry of him in the Unrelatedness challenge...::sheepish grin::
Many thanks to my mentor Gordon for teaching me the Art of the Crop!
Sammy is my treasure and my hero in so many ways!

That eye color is amazing. I thought that it was colored in post processing until I read the description. I have a cat that has the complimentary colored eyes.
so dramatic .. his eye is amazing & its a perfect crop .. i love the details especially his nose and THAT EYE ... !!! WOW .. !! ... its like i can see an orb inside the eye .. just incredible .. :)
This photo became my favorite instantky, even though i hadnt seen many of the others. As i looked throught the rest i waited to be done so i could come back to this one. God Job!!!
I loved this shot from the moment it lit up my screen. I can't fathom why this image didn't hit at least a top 10, but then figuring out what the DPC voters will like is just about as easy as picking winning lottery numbers. LOL.
Oh, I LOVED this photo in the challenge! I'm so happy it finished so strong. Redemption is sweet for beautiful Sammy isn't it!! My Milly redeemed me from my last humiliating entry in the architecture challenge too :) I think Sammy and Milly truly deserve extra treats today, don't you ? :)
love the fact that is only half a face, and oh gosh, how adorable is your model. his calm composure and elegant pose, whilst still looking interesting and have emotion in the eyes is outstanding. Oh and the photographer is pretty good too 10
Really deep lovely blue. I would guess the depth of it was done PP? Very nice macro. I think this will be among the top ones. I commented after seeing just a few, and after looking through them all you have some serious competition. Good luck. I like the title.
