Description
This is my aunt's new kitten Igor. He's a mix of a Ragdoll and a Birman. He's only 10 weeks old, although you can hardly see that on this picture.The blue eyes aren't photoshopped, that's the way his eyes are, just as you can see with Iwan.
The boy's name Igor is pronounced EE-gor, EYE-gor. It is of Russian origin. Variant of Ingvar (Scandinavian) "Ing's soldier."
This is my aunt's second cat. She already has Iwan. and a New Foundlander called Boris. All Russian names, so when she got the new kitten, Igor was an easy choice for a name.
I know the picture isn't flawless, but it's probably one of the last shots that I'll be taking with my Minolta DiMAGE Z3, I just wanted to submit this. My aunt was very pleased with the outcome, since the original shot is bigger and this was cropped to my likings.
It's a resubmission. ~detail24 taught me some things that made the picture look way better. Thanks hon

I like the photo itself, but it seems like it's swimming in the gigantic border. I'm also not crazy about the color, since the whole bottom of the photo disappears into the border.

True, you're right. I haven't been much of a fan of borders anymore, so I might change it when I have time for it!
Thanks much, it's appreciated!

No prob. I used to put gigantic borders around my photos as well (You can see it in the older parts of my gallery. I leave them there to remind myself what not to do. LOL.), but I find more and more that they just seem purer without.

Yeah, same here. If I'd delete (or store) everything that I don't like as much as I used to, my gallery would be pretty much empty!
Agreed. I haven't used borders in years and I have no intention of ever using them again

Love the edit - the border looks so fantastic too, at first glance it's just a square crop but looking from further back it makes it almost like cat flap or a window. Great work - and such beautiful eyes¬!

Usually I'm not a big fan of borders, but somehow it fits this shot.
Thanks much for the interpretation and the sweet words!
