 Saw the cat portrait thread and got Hairball to pose for me. Black Cat wasnt being helpful.

Pretty much like most of my current portraits - 420ex off silver umbrella on the right.

In my Animals Folder I have a bunch of cat shots. Not too many were posed by me, just good finds during their life.

Looking back at the EXIF I see that I was lying. It's 2.8 on the aperture. ;)

Such a beautiful cat! Great choice of props too. The paint flecks on the chair really add to the interest of the whole. The lighting and depth of field are absolutely perfect.

My one nit-pick would be the saturation of the red. In the thumbnail the red thing on the collar glows, so when you open the photo that's the first thing you notice. After that I noticed that the kitty's nose looked like it had blood on it. Without blood dripping from the jowls, I don't think blood on the nose fits your intent, heh.

For DPC, I'd tone down the red on both the nose and the collar thing. For a home family photo I'd just tone down the red on the nose a tiny bit, since the thing on the collar is probably something the family associates with the kitty.
