Description

This is an old image--I no longer have the EXIF data. But I spent some time this morning going through tutorials for some of my plugins, including Camera Raw, OnOne Perfect Enhance, and the results were astonishing.

The cat is no longer prowling around our pond, but he once was brilliant at finding where the ducks had hidden their eggs. He was in the process of icking his scarred chops in this shot.

Exceptional look you've achieved here, Michelle. Love the shot and the tones. I do feel so sorry for these on-their-own cats. Rough life they have. I think I should, definitely, take time to look at some plugin tutorials. #11105502

Lovely capture Michelle - apparently Australia has a problem with feral cats in the bush - they grow twice the size of a regular house pet, and they eat our wildlife. We couldn't believe how many of these we saw in the outback, where its dry and hot. Love the details in your little capture!

Wonderful kitty image, Michelle!! I,too, feel for these poor animals - there are SO many irresponsible people dumping kittens in the bush that it makes me VERY angry... :-( #11127846
