I was trying to simply do a picture of an apple to test my lighting, etc for a more complicated apple shot later on.
Moriarty decided to get up on the table (which he's not supposed to do.)
I quickly took two shots: this entry and this shot:
I loved both of them, but was still madly in love with my original idea.
But the more I looked at the cat shot, I knew I had to give up on my original plan.
The first processing I did was just sepia:
But then I decided that I wanted just a tad of the color back.
I fell completely in love with the image. It's so different from my normal stuff -- I wish I knew how to do this more often!
Then my poor friends had to listen to me whine the first day because it started off with 4.7 after 8 votes.
I hereby apologize for my whining! I'm not sure I've ever seen a score climb like this one.
Thanks for the wonderful comments, votes and favs! I have no idea where this will end up -- but I'm so glad that some people liked it as much as I did. :)

tremendous clarity on the apple. The cats pose is enhanced by that DOF, and I can only see a certain amount of thematic depth, or I would have given it a 10.
