One more of the big, and beautiful exotic cats at EFRC. I decided on B&W because I did care much for the color version. This will also be an entry for the B&W challenge.

I used the canon 40D and canon 70-300 IS USM lens, and it was shot through fencing. I seem to manage to get alot of acceptable images from that visit to cat camp, more than ever before.

I noticed that this seemed a bit over sharpened around the face/whiskers so tried to do a selective softening. I also used neat image to get this final result.

Just look at that tummy fur, tickle me why don't you. :)

Thank you for commenting.

Think I will pass on the "tummy tickle," Tigz.
It looks good in b/w.

Such a colorful cat in B/W is certainly an artistic approach in presenting this one Sandi. It really works well. I'll leave the tummy tickle for Bob. (BTY - Bob's snowman sweater is begging for a tickle too. lol)

The thing that goes the farthest, towards making life worthwhile, it costs the least and does the most, is just a pleasant smile.

Nice but I see the after effects from softening and especially the Neat Image. It's hard to do a fix after the fact. This should be done in post processing and kept at a bare minimum to avoid artifacting, the sharpening is always the last thing you do.

The b&w really suits this picture Sandi. Such a good composition. It makes the cat look almost able to be petted. Good picture for the challenge.

Someone needs their belly rubbed, and if I still had my garden rake I would volunteer you for the job. A lovely capture of this big kitty and a good b/w presentation of the scene.
