Jen's Eye
Peek-a-Boo
Posted by Jen (Alpharetta, United States) on 7 May 2007 in Animal & Insect.

Oh My!!! I had a Tiger Tabby named Winnie, she lived to be nearly 21 years old. The only problem was that she wasn't a very nice cat, in fact she had a real nasty temperament. When I saw this photo and then read the name I thought uh oh Winnie has come to haunt me via the internet. This Winnie looks sweet though.

@Laurie: This winnie has her moments...we adopted her a few years ago and I think she may have been mistreated or perhaps abandoned. When we first got her it was very difficult to get close to her, she'd run off or growl if you tried to pick her up...she's gotten a lot better and actually can be very sweet, when SHE wants to be LOL
That's pretty funny she looks like your winnie!
@M.E.: LOL!!! Thanks for the visit M.E.!!

This is great Jen. I love that half the face is hidden and the colours are beautiful. Super shot!

@Stu: Thanks Stu!!
She kept sneaking around so I figured it was time to capture her instead of the flowers. : )

This is just too perfectly cute!! What a fantabulous shot! Did you play with the colours when you processed this shot? I'm not sure if it's the light (which is great) or what ... but the colours do seem a bit saturated.. or is it my eye? I think this would also look so cool in b/w. BTW I've got 3 of these little beasties... my furry children.

@amy: I did saturate the colors some...the lamp above didn't help, kind of washed out the colors.
I'll have to try the b/w...I don't do that very much.
As always THANK YOU!!!

One of the hardest things to do in photography is to take and present a cat photo that doesn't look overdone, gratuitous, or trite. Congratulations on a very well-done cat photo that is lovely and manages to avoid the pitfalls! I love this one.
