Excellent capture, especially considering Tigger's a cat. They are notorious for lightning moves --- AWAY from the camera! #4726740

Description

This is Tigger, the cat I rescued just after Christmas.
Animals are a new subject for me..but I can see the fun/challenge in it already!
Taken outdoors a few days ago- natural light
Slight crop, clarified and I sharpened + saturated his eyes some
(didn't do anything to the actual color).
Thanks for looking!!
:)
