Her eyes look awesome - the tones are awesome. I need to find that LucisArt stuff and learn to use it - I'm assuming that's part of how you get that lovely silvery/bluish/gray tone thing going on here. In fact, if you don't mind, I want to "borrow" your original and see if I can do to it what you did. Seriously great shot to begin with (love that wide angle!) and really really good post processing to give it a whole new life.

Super image of the Super Cat, Lily. What lucky cats, to have you as their owner getting them all fixed up!! You take the best cat images I've seen. You've got the editing down purrfect. Wish I could do the same! Love her eyes, btw.

The eyes look good. You probably just looked at them too long. :)

I really feel like I know your kitties. I like the long stretch of his arm.

Wonderful editing. You made something special. The eyes looks still a little freaky in full-size. Probably because the pupils are almost stripes.

Oh yay! Back to the kitties! You are most definitely turning me into a cat lover with these shots. :) Your processing has become very recognizable as yours. Thanks for posting the original to compare so that we can really appreciate all your work.

Day 14: Post Processing

Comment by Melethia:
No rules, just right! Really spectacular processing, and your original shot doesn't suck to begin with. Next time, be brave, get out and shoot. I'm still shy about it and I do it all the time. Well, OK, not all the time, but I do shoot and have discovered that most of the time, no one pays attention to me. Of course, I look like a geek and most people take a far and wide path to avoid me... :-) Seriously though, this is very inspiring - and again, thanks for sharing all the steps!
