Seriously.... Don't look behind you.







One more.... I'm not sure about this. Most close shots of cats are with their eyes in focus. I went for something different and got the nose in focus.
Simple question, does it work?

Re: Seriously.... Don't look behind you.

Think it works Dave, im getting hypnotized here,lol. Focusing on the nose whilst the eyes do the work. Eyes do not look much out of focus either so another reason it works

Thanks Ken. That was the main one, I was just interested what people thought of the close up.

Re: Seriously.... Don't look behind you.

They're great.

Re: Seriously.... Don't look behind you.

Thank Phil. They do look the same don't they. The cat isn't mine. It's my father in-laws.
He has 2 cats. The daughter as above and this one, the mother. She's a big girl...
