Jazz Cat

Posted by baobab (Cambridge, United States) on 11 October 2008 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

a brief break from BC to celebrate Caturday with the two Kylies.

this was shot number 0003 from the d300... wrong white balance. I liked the pose, so applied a colour mask to the background to make the weird warm colour 'artistic' rather than 'wrong' ;-)

Nice idea, the colour wash has made quite a decent graphic image.

@Richard_Irwin: thanks Richard - I'm a complete novice with PS, so this is rather rough around the edges.

Sometimes the images that go wrong, end up to be the very good! Like the post processing and the pose of the cat!

I'm always doing the wrong white balance and quite often when i go to correct it in ps I find I prefer the warmer tones. I like this shot , as someone else said, it makes a good graphic image. We have 2 black cats, I just love black ones.
