 Actually, she isn't guarding anything. She is watching me standing in the rain trying to take her picture through the window, tapping on the glass with one hand while trying to focus with the other. That is her "you stupid human" look. Luckily,she was feeling especially generous on this day so she almost opened her eyes for me. I have to go cook her supper now..

This is the kind of shot that screams out at me. I love it.

It was a 7 from me. Personally, I can't resist them through the screen shots - great texture. Love the dreamy mood you captured here.

Thanks for the great comments and nod in the posthumous thread. My model will be even harder to live with now.

I think this is fantastic! I love the processing, the screen creates a wonderful texture; love the dof, the stripe of light down that wonderfully detailed nose :-)

I'm so surprised to see this so far down. I gave it a 10; it was my favorite cat, and one of my top three favorites of the competition.

That's kinda eerie looking. It would make for a good movie poster.

I'm not how you created this effect, but I really like it. Shot through the screen door, maybe? Very cool. The grain and pattern work quite well together.

The editing techniques are really cool. This is almost frightening, werewolfish. I like it.

i like the focus and to look in the eyes but the mottled effect over the whole picture is a little off putting.
