Scat Cat!

Uploaded: September 26, 2007

Description

A Brave little Mockingbird scolds this humiliated cat for trying to sneak up on him.The only fixes to this image was removal(cloning) of a window on a house behind the bird,sharpening and de-saturation.

I love the narrative aspect of this image Beth. It is nicely composed too. I am pretty sure the bird escaped... Right?-C2 #747544

Elizabeth J. Bernier September 26, 2007

Thank you Christina...yes not only was the bird just fine but he was bullying the cat every day...just look at the hangdog expression on the cat! LOL I even have a shot where the bird is dive bombing the cats behind, I plan to put it in my gallery soon as well...it's quite funny!Thanks again for your lovely comments! #4849601
