Yes... I agree with your email comments. The image definitely raises the par for the kitty classification of photos. The pink works with the coat colors and the eyes pull on the background. Content and color synchronicity is always key. Obviously, the eyes having phenomenal clarity and detail take center stage. #5666248Nancy (Peaches) Harker March 20, 2008

Several asked about the pink 'cloud' around Icy -- I draped a feather boa around him for the photograph, then softened the image in PS and applied a smidge of Fractalius filter, masking out where I didn't want the effect.
Re_my signiture which has been inquired about - To customize your signiture in PS, select the type tool, then the font you desire, and size. Hold down the ALT key while typing ON THE NUMBER PAD: 0169. This renders the copyright. Type your name. To select a color, highlight your name, then take the eye drop tool and select a color from the photograph. Alternatively double click on the foreground color in the menu bar which will bring up the color picker. Use the slider to select the color range you want and then click inside the color picker to select a specific color. Click on the type tool icon in your layers palette and you're done! You can adjust the size, font and color as long as you have your signiture selected. I hope that helps!
Namaste! #5710867
