Inspired by elsapo's "Mellow Yellow". Hopefully, it won't get hit too hard by the anti-cat crowd. :)

Using selective saturation I was able to capture this cat's actual personality. It was either doing this or making her look like the devil reincarnated. lol.

"It was either doing this or making her look like the devil reincarnated. lol."

Um,you captured that too.
What a personality, what an entity.
All captured in the expression of those eyes.

PS: she earned a "9" from me in the original contest.
I'm glad to be reminded of her image again.

She looks so tribal leaderish.. The expression is to die for... The personality that seeps out is so stern and matronly that if she gave a command I would obey.. :)

This is such a stunning phtograph. Just draws you in and keeps you there. The DOF as well as the sharpness of detail make this the Beauty that it is. Remarkably well done, Yanko.
