I love that water spray photo -- color, composition, bokeh. The cat looks as if he's plotting evil!

The drops look very nice, I like the way the ones in the bokeh are collateral on the ones in front.
The cat doesn't look very friendly, hope he didn't put his claws in you.

I thought "Wow, this will be cool" as I envisioned an image of a cat trying to avoid being sprayed with water... Imagine my disappointment...

Love the cat, BTW...

Cats are always plotting evil.

I'd really like to know what your setup was for the water spray photo, as far as lighting/strobe/etc.

There was no flash. Just handheld n shoot.

it's a very interesting image. I would have thought you'd have to do some serious manipulation with the light to get it to work. Looks like a very, very high (4000 or maybe 6000) shutter speed.

Bahaha ditto!

But I must say, I'm really surprised with the water spray photo, great shot.

That water spray is really neat!!!!! I love that! The cat reminds me of the look my son's cat gets on his face when he is waiting to be fed. I call it the "feed me now or I will open the refrigerator and get it myself" look.

tigershiok · 06-23-2010, 11:18 PM

the cat is really sharp and nicely shaded away - did you use a flash?

cupic · 06-24-2010, 01:45 AM

Love the cat ,maybe try a crop top and bottom would give puss a more sinister look TFS

cheers

mikeSF · 06-25-2010, 04:32 PM

the cat is thinking about how he will get into my yard to poop in it.

The cat is amazing!
The light, sharpness & DOF are perfect.
