Joe likes to pose and honestly makes a nice colorful subject. Playing with bouncing a new flash and a little 'ortonization'. Bored I guess. :D

Joe's eyes blend so well with his fur which makes for an interesting photo. Orton is fun -- you never know if it will work or not. With this photo I think it worked out ok. Only thing...looks like Joe lost his mouth with the Orton treatment. I'd try to bring it back some if you can.

Thank you Mary for looking in and commenting. I see what you're talking about. Here's the original. Is there enough mouth in it to mess with? Joe's a quiet cat. Meaner 'n a snake but quiet. :rofl

Burn some around his mouth to make it darker and try the Orton again :D

I like it! I always wanted an orange cat--but mine are all black and gray. Joe looks like a sweet guy in this shot.

Thanks Lauren. Pictures can be deceiving though. :D Actually Joe is OK most of the time. Gets a bit cranky now and then but all animals have personality just like people. I looked at your web site and I know you're aware of that. I also liked your Riverwalk shots. My daughter, her husband and two grandkids live in Schertz so we get to the Riverwalk about every other yearly visit. Neat place for sure.

Appreciate you looking in and commenting.
