One of my cats, "Rain", is hiding in the tree above the feeders hoping for a taste of wildfowl. She saw me pointing the camera through the window and locked eyes with me. Fortunately for the birds, her hunting trip was unsuccessful!!



Nikon D70, Nikon 70-200 f2.8 VR / 1.7x TC; f5; 1/320th sec.; shot through double-pane Thermopane sliding glass door.

Very cool shot, love the composition and the green of the eye.

Where are you in TN? I am in Knoxville

Thank you, Julie!!

I'm just up the road from you in Sevierville but I grew up in Knoxville and went to Bearden, many long years ago!

Best regards,

Dick:)

Dick,
Cool shot. I like the composition, and the fact that the cat is similar to the tree, kind of monochromatic with the eye really popping out. Kind of like that stuff where people insist on making everything B&W except one thing. But this is real and looks pretty cool. They do love to hunt too don’t they?

Hey Dick,

Did you beef up the saturation of the eye at all with this shot?

James

Thanks, Jeff & James!

Jeff, Rain and her momma, Jaguar, love to hunt though I keep their food dish well-stocked! I think it's a cat thing!

James, I did boost the saturation and brightness of the eye to make it stand out more from the shadows. Her eyes really are that color but the shade muted the color.

Sincerely appreciated,

Dick:)

AWESOME AWESOME shot !!!!!!

Thanks so much, Driven! I give all the credit to "Rain" for the look!

Best regards,

Dick:)
