Yoda waits quietly while his sisters Batgirl and Shadow look for him...
I was kinda bummed this morning because I took over 200 images of the cats at play and most turned out like you know what. It was just too dark outside so I was using a very high ISO and the images were just too grainy and soft and they just weren't what I was looking for to include in this set of images (some nice stuff for the blur side challenge though!). Once the sun came up a little higher I was able to get a couple shots that were decent, this included.
PP:
- crop
- cut Batgirl's face from another nearly identical image and paste into this one, blend and flatten
- duplicate background layer, apply LA Whyeth at 25%, layer opacity 100%
- copy eyes of all cats and paste into new individual layers (one eye per layer)
- set eye layers blending mode to screen then adjust opacity on each
- channel mixer to desat, layer opacity at 78% and mask eyes and nose for a tad more color
- levels layer
- resize
- usm
- save for web
i must have missed this one in our slice ...
BRILLIANT and sooooooo funny ... fantastic photograph .. i reckon you'd get around with dirt on your knees a lot of the time .. !! ..:):)
I really do love your cat images..... this one I really like the processing and the grey tones, with that magical touch of color qhere needed.....
I envy your knowledge of processing, as I like the results that you are achieveing.....
This is just wonderful!! I love the hide and seek, though the hider doesn't seem overly concerned. The seekers, however, are quite intent on their goal!
I just run to the computer, hoping to get another neat kitty shot from you and VOILA. Once again, this is terrific. You could make a book with a cute and funny story to go along with all of these great images. Super composition, perspective and editing.
