Sam- Good morning to you. I think this is one of the most beautiful pictures I have seen where the fract filter was used to such outstanding perfection. The SC of the eyes was such a sensational touch. Just love the overall look and it seems to bring out the mysterious ways of a cat. Colors are stunning and gorgeous. Lighting and clarity are superb. Details highlight every fabulous feature.
Exquistite work Sam.
