Thanks, all. Isabel, it will be 2 years in Feb that I have been involved with photography, always cats as my main "focus." Sometimes it's hard to get color into a photo naturally, so in this case, I positioned my friend's green suitcase behind Hyppia, then opened up the aperture to blur the background, giving me what I thought was a more colorful image than otherwise. #850975

Those colors are gorgeous (as is the kitty), Jean... and the effect looks terrific on this. #865543

Very creative and beautiful cat image Jean! A cats eyes always mezzmorizes one, don't they? The effect you used was perfect and the creative background seals the image! #865971

Thanks, Karen, Mary, and Joannie. This little one now lives in Hungary and I will sadly miss chronicling (sp?)the various stages in its most certainly beautiful development. Also, sad to say, but this little one accidentally got her tail caught in a drawer and had to have an inch or so of it amputated, thus quickly ending its show career before it got started. She is well loved, though, and that's what counts! #866469
