Description
The thing I fell in love with when I saw Angel as a kitten for the first time were her eyes. They are very large, they bulge out of her head quite a bit and their coloring is simply beautiful.I've been wanting to get a close-up of her eyes for a long time. I finally decided to try it this morning since the sunlight coming into the windows was perfect...
I had to wait quite a while for Angel to finally stop moving and for her to get into the right position looking out the window. She moved often so I had to act quickly in order to get some good shots. Focusing with the extension tube can be difficult, but she was still long enough for me to get many great shots from different angles.
Her eyes bulge out so far, that it looks like a mini atmosphere is over them.
The full size is close to a 100% crop - I'd say it's at about 95%. I had to shrink it to fit on a canvas that would be viewable by most computers.
Submitted to APN because I prefer this gallery!!

Wow this is amazing, I've never seen such a close up and clear photo of a cat's eye before! This is awesome.
Often a cat's eyes are what make me fall in love with them, too.

It's often the cats' eyes that make the pictures and bring it all together ^_^ It's so neat seeing a close up of cat faces so that you can see all the details of their fur or eyes

All I can say is just... wow.. that is one awesome side shot, especially at macro and getting such good depth of field for a shot that close.
Beautiful.
