Skyy....this is beautiful! And I love it in Black and White...perfect! :) #2824992Skyy McKendry May 28, 2006
Thanks, everyone! I took this as I was about to leave after photographing Joyce's cat for a fundraising calendar. I think she's really beautiful so I asked her if I could snap a couple of quick photos of her. The lighting is open shade (she's standing in a doorway) on a sunny day. I used the Midnight filter in Nik Color Efex Pro, desaturated it & increased the contrast to get this effect. #2825176Terri L. Scribner May 28, 2006
