Cat Photo Competition 1 2013 : Entry Number 60

there is something extremely engaging about this image ... the wonderful light, colors and tones, and depth of field ... all expertly managed ... but also the intensity of the cat's gaze and the details in his fur and eyes, and the expression in his face. and instant fave for sure! ~ illona

Thank you so much for the honor! This is my first entry into any I-Shot-It competition, so I am over the top excited about your critique! This was shot with a Sony Alpha500, my first DSLR, with minor color adjustments in Lightroom. I am just starting my photography business in the Houston, Texas area. Julian is one of our personal rescue kids, and his expression here captures his intensity about every single thing he does. Cats are my focus - both in my life and my photography.
