This better be good...
Posted by Jen (Alpharetta, United States) on 1 September 2007 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.
I bet you'd hand over your tuna if she looked at you like that ; )
She just looks mean, she's quite a sweet little cat.

EXCELLENT!! Really really beautifully done, Jen!! The focus is bang on as are the finer details. It is FAN-FREAKIN-TASTIC!!! Can't stop looking at it. If you don't get a whack of comments on this one I'll eat my hat (little do you know I have a candy hat and it won't be a huge problem to perform this feat... I like to cover my bases.. LOL)

Thank you and Miss Winnie thanks you too ; )

Superb zoomed in portrait shot of your cat. The texture of her fur shows up beautifully and the sharpness of her whiskers adds to the mood of "this better be good".

I'm going absolutely bonkers looking at your cat. If I ever get my hands on her, I will hug her and never let her go. AUUUGGHH!!! Very very feline look she has in her eyes. Love it

Viewfinder from Bradenton, United States
Jen, this is an awesome shot of your cat. The detail you caught in this is so superior; clear and sharp. She is all-cat; I love the slant to her eyes. And her pupils are slits, which tell me it was maybe bright there, she maybe wasn't too thrilled about the photo shoot, and that maybe she decided it was too much trouble to resist during an interrupted siesta time. So she went along with the human games.

@Viewfinder: You are quite observant VF...yes she was in our dining room which catches some nice light during the day. Since we have no dining room furniture that room has been dubbed "the winnie room" since she spents most of her naptimes there! ; )
I want to say how sorry I am for your loss...I know it's hard to get your head around, but thank goodness you are all safe and sound.

Whoa, best not to mess around with her, methinks! *-) But I take your word for it, Jen, she must have a sweeter side. :) Absolutely fantastic macro and way full of character, Jen! :-)
