I introduce to you Chicago:
She was such a wonderful subject. I assume this was taken when she was first brought in almost over a month ago! She is very friendly and such a cutie. Unfortunately her previous photo does not show how curious and precious this little beauty is. The blue hand is more in focus it seems than the face of Chicago. There is a glare from the flash in the far back right that is distracting my eyes. Chicago's eyes are milky looking from being drowned out by the flash and it therefore does not show her bright green eyes. The blanket and cat toy are a bit distracting to the background along side such a little kitten.

In this photo I have brightened the exposure of the entire composition and added dodge layers to the ears eyes and tip of the nose. The catch lights are a little whiter but over all the raw photo was already pretty good. But it helps having such a good model. I hope this will improve her adoptability from her original online and kennel photo. It makes her seem more open and willingness to be held and cuddled. She seems to be saying "that's right I am the one you want."
Great image! Chicago looks much more approachable and playful here. Major improvement over the original image. The only changes I can offer is a bit of dodging around the mouth and maybe a bit more in her right eye. Good shot!
ReplyDeleteThat's an amazing transformation! I would barely be able to recognize her as being the same cat in the first if the two images weren't placed together. She looks tall, proud, and serene in your recapture and the color of her fur and eyes are much more vibrant and beautiful. But I do also agree that her right eye (your left) does need a little more dodging, but great work!
ReplyDeleteI agree that this is a huge improvement. Your image tells us something about this cat's personality! Good work.
