This is Raïssa, my oldest cat (she´s 13 years old)... and the less colaborative for photos... this is the only successful capture I did..

All critiques are welcome.

Just cropped and framed.
Dedicated for Ayda (chiaraluna) and Sir Bodmin...

Very sharp, and excellent job capturing the eyes. Did you use a flash or any lighting? It seems to dark to not use one, but the background is too dark to have used one?

This is really a nice portrait. Good sharpness and lighting. And I'm sure you didn't have anything to do with it, but it's a purrfect pose for a monarch. Great work.

Wow! Ela é linda ;-)
Essa história de só clicar, tem muito que se lhe diga :-)))))
Não é fácil clicar assim!!
É uma composição excelente, com super contraste e cores bem saturadas, mesmo como eu adoro!!! Parabéns.
Acho que tanto a Ayda como o Bodmin vão adorar.

Great portrait,the black background increase the charme and the mistery of cat.
I love it a lot.

The low light and the sparkle in Raissa's blue eyes is superb. I surely hope my Tinka will enjoy a long life like your cat. Lovely portrait.

Wow, that is one intense cat. The eyes are amazing, and I love how the light fades out to black as it goes down her body. Wonderful job!

hurray!! :-)))

Bodmin and I were so thrilled to see this gorgeous lady modelling in a dedication to us!! he was so excited to see her :-)

wow.. yet another beautiful lady in your house! oh how sweet and lovely she is.. very distinguished looking ^_^

i love the way you've capture her here with the dark background and the subtle lighting on her.. excellent detail of her beautiful fur and cute little face and so gentle and elegant and worthy of her qualities! 13 years is a good age.. all my kitties in england are 'mature' now.. yet forever my babies! they're 12, 13, 16 & 16 and a half :D and our oldest girl who was with me since i was 8 was 17 when she passed from cancer almost 3 years ago... oh i miss them all so much... cat's are so wonderful!!

tell sweet Raissa she doesn't look a day over 3! :D

thanks so much (from both of us) for this wonderful wonderful treat Carmem ^_^

big hugs

Ayda

p.s. i want to add this to my favorites but am worried about making the other kitties jealous! ihih

Fotógrafos são escravos da luz.Excelente trabalho este onde a iluminação usada realça e bastante todo o clima mistico que envolve estes seres celestiais,que são os gatos.Realmente excelente.Yod

Great lighting and composition Carmem. A really impressive portrait.

Fantastico o jogo de luz, ficou uma foto maravilhosa, veja como uma luz dá o efeito esperado e inesperado, toda luz em cima de qualquer objeto e ser vivo fica linda.
Parabens.

Oi de novo!
Eu já convivi com vários gatos em casa (não todos ao mesmo tempo), e cada um tinha uma personalidade diferente. Tinha um que se eu olhasse diretamente para os olhos dele, ele atacava!! Era muito perigoso!! Tanto é que ele fugiu de casa e foi morar na rua :-((

Mas o Tigre, o que eu tenho atualmente, é muito calmo, gordo e velho. Ele deve ter mais de dez anos já... e é muito colaborativo para fotos, hehe! Realmente ele não se importa. Dá uma olhada no meu álbum, tem quatro fotos dele lá.

Agora sobre a tua foto :-), ficou muito boa, como não poderia deixar de ser vindo de ti. A iluminação está perfeita, e o toque de azul nos olhos da Raissa deu um toque muito especial... Perfeito!

Abração!
Felipe.
