My cat, Mr. Orange (creative name, I know) on a bedspread that matches him so well I at times fail to see him when he's asleep. I did pop his eyes a little (they're more amber naturally) and emphasized the side-lighting (this is naturally lit through a distant window). I used a tripod with relatively low shutter speed and fairly high ISO. DOF very shallow due to little light and desire for bedspread to blend into background.

I did vote this challenge and it's too bad I'd seen this one ahead of time - definitely one of my favorites of what was a pretty darn good challenge! Grats on yet another 6+!
I LOVED this one in the challenge. I think it is so perfect for the challenge. I love Mr. Orange. What beautiful photogenic animal members of your family you have :)
The eyes of that cat are amazing, they stand out against everything else in the photograph. The cat blends into the background very nicely, its a perfect match.
This blends perfectly and at the same time stands out, it was really smart to use a patterned fabric because this makes the plain fur stand out just enough. I also really like the warm neutral tones even in the cat's eyes.
