3. Thanks on both counts :)
I thought it turned out pretty nice too. I'm trying out some new techniques, camera settings and lighting. So far I'm pleased with the results :)

Sometimes I get tired of seeing Quinn pics, but this one is really well done. I like the color contrast between the red and the blue, and I like the detail in the cat's eyes.

Nice work! :thumbsup:

If I his eyes

8. It's a him :)
I didn't feel like photoshopping the reflections out either. I went through enough effort cleaning up the little eye-boogers in the corner of his eye and bring back some of the lost detail in the shadows :).

I couldn't remember the gender, and I actually went through the post and replaced him with it, and then I tacked on the photoshop rider and fucked it all up :D

11. LMAO
To be honest, I was getting tired of photos of him too, that's why I had reposted old ones recently when people asked.

I just had a new batch of ideas for Photoshop I wanted to try out (I've got a little plug-in that emulated Fuji Velvia film and works beautifully for improving color saturation and such).

This was the first one I've done while experimenting with that filter and natural light :). So far I'm very pleased with the results.

12. Hmmmm, I like it about halfway between that and mine.
That one seems like it's almost over-sharpened. Mine seems just a tad under . . . somewhere about halfway between would be very nice :)

14. Hehehe, almost exactly halfway between :)
Very nice.

I just have to be careful with adjustments on pictures of him because the slightest bit in the wrong direction and he stops looking like Quinn and looks completely different :)

I'll tell you what though, this 50mm 1.8 Nikon lens is freakin' awesome (especially for a lens that only cost $89 :)).

28. Nice choice :)
I went with the Nikon primarily because it left me more money to spend on lenses :).
