[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is one of my two cats, Monty. His sister is called Mouse, they were the only two in a litter which was the result of a brief but passionate affair between a domestic long-haired cat (Millie) and a feral Tom. Their names both begin with M as they both had a very clear 'M' marking on their foreheads when they were kittens.

The shot was taken with the camera on the ground and me laying on the staircase (he was at the top). I tweaked the colours, contrast and sharpened, but as far as I remember that was all.

Hope you like him :-)

Hi Adrian, I like how you tweaked his eyes - what a super green colour. And I like how he's ignoring you too. They certainly have minds of their own. Good shot, well captured,

Hi Aido!
Great shot, those emerald eyes are so cute and tender, I love the closeup on the face , I wish I could touch him, but I guess tham my cat would be jealous :)!

Monty is just adorable Adrian. Montys green eyes are amazing.
Your shot is so clear and sharp it looks like I could reach out and give Monty a little rub. Nicely framed. .....you have to watch those Toms :))

Hi Adrian,
I'm so glad to meet your cat :) What a beautiful animal. The green of his eye is almost phosphorescent... I like this POV and DOF :) As always this is a beautiful portrait with an interesting story about his origins. BTW, I love the name of your other cat, Mouse, lol, very funny. Thanks!
