Siam.

[Minerva]

A simple, stuff-free background brings the attention to my feline. I was in stealth mode! I was down at Siam's level, so he was not distracted and he felt comfy with me and camera. I love his blue eyes!

Camera: Canon PowerShot G7
tinypic.com EXIF: F 3.5, 1/30, Flash off, ISO 200

C&C welcomed and appreciated. Thank you.

Hi Carol,

I have:

Removed the second thread as requested.
Moved the image here up in to the first post, so it is with the relevant text.
Deleted all the other posts as they're not really required now.

As to the picture, complete with blue eyes, my thought is that the eyes are very close to the left hand edge and (obviously) staring out that side, but behind the head is a fair bit of negative space that isn't really doing anything positive in my view.

Therefore, I'd consider a crop from the right hand side, perhaps even adding a bit in front of the nose on left, if this were a crop in PP, as long as that could be done without bringing anything unwanted in to the frame.

Good focus and the mixed lighting on opposite sides of the head tells us he is looking out of a window while comfy in a warm environment.

HTH, Dave

A moment of concentration well captured. Love the blue eye.
