Playing with PS Elements filters, decided to use the Smart Blur filter to give this picture the look of a painting...

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. #850975Karen Beri October 22, 2004 0

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! #866469Terry R. Hatfield November 16, 2004 0
