Sweet Innocence [Photography Contest Photoshop & Digital Darkroom]
Uploaded: March 03, 2006 08:46:52
Photo No. 2 in a series titled "Life Of Wiley". To emphasize the color of Wiley's eyes and obtain a high-key effect, I desaturated and softened the photograph using Adobe Photoshop CS2.

That is so COOL! Very creative! #2492248Crystal M. Gove March 03, 2006
Wow, I really like what you did with this photo!!! It is very cool how the only color is found in the eyes and they're blue, the "innocent" eye color :o). You did a really good job here! #2492286Janine Russell March 03, 2006
Myra, great kitty portrait; great effects. #2493482Myra Vos March 03, 2006
Johannes, Marianne, Crystal and Janine ... thank you for your nice comments. #2493799Frances Saunders March 16, 2006
I have been taken with high key photos lately and this is a great example. The coloring is just perfect. Can you tell me what kind of cat this is??? #2537957Myra Vos March 16, 2006
Thanks for your nice comment Fran. Wiley is a Himalayan/Siamese mix with tons of character and a gentle sweet disposition. I have never met a cat quite like him. #2538572Frances Saunders March 16, 2006
Thanks, Myra. He's quite gorgeous and your photo does him much justice, as I said. I just lost my precious tabby and this photo really moved me. #2539278Stephanie Laird April 25, 2006
