Taken from the neighbouring farm.
These two cats have the same mother.

Rambo the big one was used to being pampered by his mother till the new litter came along.

Obviously feeling neglected he took over and became the nanny to the other kittens guarding over them constantly.

There are two huge dogs in the household, that don't get along with cats, so everywhere the kittens went Rambo was there to be the bouncer.

All kittens were given away except Picasso a little female and these two are now inseparable.

My regards Dear friend

Hello Dot,

My heart melts at the sight of these two friends! I tried to do something similar with my cats but they would have none of it!

A lovely comparative shot with excellent details of both cats. The intense interest of the kitten compared with the 'cool' attitude of big brother is very amusing!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Whilst it's a nice sharp image Dot I find that the direct flash really changes the tone of the image (or the mood maybe I should say).. Have you tried putting a couple of layers of tissue over the flash - this works even on a compact camera - to diffuse the light and make the scene less 'formal'?

I also think a crop to square format might work better - although that's my personal opinion and I may be totally wrong LOL

Regards
David

hello Dot

Cute pair of cats for the theme. I have to agree about the flash which tends to make the contrast less obvious and it is always worth considering natural light and try many ways to make it work.

I suppose using Olympux 730 may post some restrictions but no harm trying.

tfs, bill

ho Dot definitley and nice shot this they look so nice together and i know how hard it can be to get these things to sit for a photo so very well done
regards bryan

Hello Dot!
Sweet cats...beautiful colors, light and focus.
Merry Christmas!!! :)
Greetings.

Hi Dot,

It's a good thing we have no neighbouring farm, otherwise my house would be filled with cats. The huge dogs will be kept in line by the cats, they seem to know how to freighten even the biggest dog.
A lovely peaceful picture with big and small.

Have a wonderful Christmastime and a healthy 2009.
