Description This is one of my Sister's cats, Rocky. I guess it's tough being the Alpha-Male.

This is an amazing shot. I love the composition here. I love how the shadows fall on his face. It adds a nice effect. It must be so hard to be a kitty, and sleep all day. Very cute capture.

My sister saw this and she thought it was a pic of my cat Kaire. He has the same exact face. ^^ Your sisters cat is such a handsome fellow. he looks like he's having a peaceful dream. ^^

SqueakingShoeless [2005-02-06 21:00:03 +0000 UTC]

Well regardless of the fact that you seem to think your stuff blows, I like it, and I've decided to watch you for it. My comments usually run along the lines of this one, so hopefully you'll not be completely surprised by the length.

I was looking through your gallery and this one just jumped out at me. The warmth of the colors and lighting really draw the viewer in and give a great comfy/relaxed feeling, as if he or she were the cat itself. The fact that you've centered the cat's nose in the picture lengthwise but not vertically makes the light on its nose a perfectly positioned focal point and draws almost all attention to the cat's face. The surrounding darkness also adds to that and the whole photo just flows so well visually and feeling-wise. The darkness even adds a great field depth, even though it's just a picture of a cat. Apparently, you rock at composition. ^_^

I usually have some sort of nitpicky critique to make, but I can't seem to find one here. Hehe but that's generally a good thing, I would assume. Nice work.

No problem! I love handing out comments/crits like that. It's become a personal sort of style on dA. And thanks for the watch back as well!

The lighting is beautiful! And what a wonderful capture... especially in that lighting. *omgwtf?/!11! teh_lighting fangirl*
The crop along with the border and the little bit of perspective makes it fun to look at. Everything looks very crisp and oh so warm. I love it.

StudioMinds [2005-02-03 19:12:25 +0000 UTC]

This is a lovely and content meow.
I love cats ... I have one and I try hard to capture her in various state.
What I enjoy most is that they know we want to take their pictures.. and they look at us as if we're dumb-butts.
I bet in their tiny brains .. they're thinking " Humanoid ... how dumb can one be ... *yawn* "

Cute picture here. Captured the feline sound asleep ..

That cat is rerally adoreable. I love the way you have the lighting there so focused in the middle. I love the clarity and the clean appearance of the image. I also thing the close up look of this photo makes it something rarely seen. Not your typical photo of a cat. I think that angle really enhanses its uniqueness. But I am left with one burning question.....

Does everyone have the same brown carpet?

HeatherRivera [2005-01-31 13:01:32 +0000 UTC]

Very warm and calm feeling here. Adorable kitty as well. The perspective is great, close but not overly close to the cat's face. Well done.

serenitize [2005-01-31 02:50:18 +0000 UTC]

Is he sleeping or is he rubbing up against that?

I dunno if the lighting is artificial (photochop) or natural but the way the lines meet at the center of the light is nifty. The lines from his ears, paws and the couch? all lead to his the light which is centered by his eyes, and just the right amout off center. If I didn't think that cats are t3h I would have to it, but alas, cats are t3h .

Kudos!

Yeppers, that's natural light. Never heard of "photochop" before, but I am interested in it

serenitize In reply to mooboy [2005-01-31 04:58:35 +0000 UTC]

photochop: transitive verb; fo - toe - chawp

1. the act of using Adobe Photoshop, or any other image editing program, to edit the original appearence of an image. In most cases it will be overdone or done simply because the user can.

2. to commit genocide on a beautiful image through an image editing software

3. infrequent - to alter an image ever so slighty as to enhance it's already present beauty.
