.:: Adore Me ::.Originally posted January 6, 2009 | Revamped June 11, 2013
This photo of Smarty had actually been taken the previous summer.
I've always loved it despite the crappy background because I don't have many shots of his full body and here you can see his awesome fluffy ringed tail properly :3 I guess it looks like the tail of a raccoon or red panda and I assure you that it's extra-soft to the touch!
On a side note, I know it may seem that he was posing for me, but I actually had to attract his attention with a random toy. I also truly like the great colour match between the table cloth and the cat's eyes, which was fortuitous, since my mother bought that cloth and I didn't have any other.
This deviation participated in the Animal Portraits Contest promoted by *DeniseSoden
My other entry DayDreamer got the 7th Place!

In the revamp, I improved the contrast, sharpness, and color balance, and updated the watermark. This shot really didn't need much additional postprocessing.

This is a gorgeous cat first of all, and secondly, this is a really great photo. I love the colour play, in the matching eyes and table as you mentioned, but especially in the great relationship between the green table and the red in his fur. Its a contrast that really draws the eye and creates even more interest

Thanks! I'll tell him that he's 'terribly cute'!
Textures? Do you mean the table cloth? I just want to point out that this shot hasn't undergone digital texturing and such, I'm proud of it as it naturally came out!

Maybe I didn't use the right word...I was refering more to your cat, the hair looks so sharp! Sorry if I make some english mistakes, it's been years since I studied something xD and my only use is here en deviantart lol.
Really really great picture

Nevermind, English isn't my mothertongue either so I know how it can be difficult to find the right word sometimes...
And yeah, I'm glad that you find it sharp because I like sharp things in my photos... and believe me, cats never stay still so it's hard get them sharp in a shot...

Can you do those things all together?!
Anyway yes, I think I could say I'm patient, as I take at least 10 similar shots in a row and then choose the best one among them.

Yes, he's a really soft cat, even though he hates being brushed...
And don't worry, there will be more photos of him for sure!

I've never seen a cat with such deep red fur. It reminds me of a Red Panda.
Really beautiful cat, looks very graceful.

Thank you... the fur is more orange than red but the contrast with the green table cloth created this effect!
The tail instead is 100% true and fluffly!
Thanks a lot fo rthe comment and !
