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!!
:)

Outstanding cat portrait, Jennifer...animals are difficult to capture because they normally don't "pose" for us...super work, young lady!! #726846

I can see that your talent for bringing out the glow in your portrait subjects is extending into the animal world, Jennifer!
Excellent capture, especially considering Tigger's a cat. They are notorious for lightning moves --- AWAY from the camera! #4726740

Thanks all---
LOL, Mary- I was laying on my stomach while he was under a tree!
UGH :/
He isn't a camera fan yet-- but I am hopeful
