My old cat - PhotoCamel

migdawg · 05-09-2008

Hi,

Very new to photography, about 2 or so months since i bought my 400D this was taken with the kit lens and is my fave photo so far

what do you think?

Reminds me of a cat I used to have. All black and as gentle as could be - never brought me bad luck, either!

Nice DOF, the image is sharp and the eyes are not dead center in the middle of the frame. My only suggestion would be to give us the whole head of the cat by pulling back slightly and then recompose so that the eyes are still slightly off center.

Good work! Have some K!

Nice shot, and in focus. I like it better when you get down on the same level at the cat so you are not shooting down on them. Also, get a tissue and clean up the eye gunk a little before you shoot. (Gee, I hope you were REALLY asking what I think

)

Cool shot! Welcome to photocamel!

I would have gotten down to the same level as the cat and shown the whole head, but still pretty nice photo.

I posted pictures of my old cat about a week ago...His name is Skutch...you can check it out if you get a chance.

Keep shooting and posting...I look forward to seeing more!

I am so sorry to hear that you lost Shaggy. Our cats are our kids and we grieve mightily when one passes. I hope that you have plenty of shots to keep him in your memories. Make some prints.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. My Skutch cat is almost 18 as well. I've had him since he was 4 months old. I'm glad you have pictures to remember your furkid.

Blessings,
Lori
