- Incandescent Eyes - [Contest Finalists August 2007]
Uploaded: August 30, 2007 22:38:57
This is Tigger, the cat I rescued just after Christmas.
Animals are a new subject for me..but I can see the fun/challenge in it already!
Taken outdoors a few days ago- natural light
Slight crop, clarified and I sharpened + saturated his eyes some
(didn't do anything to the actual color).
Thanks for looking!!
:)
