Description
NOTE: FINE ART AMERICA WATERMARK WILL NOT APPEAR ON PURCHASED IMAGE.
"Sleepy Kitty" placed third in the Fine Art America Pet Contest July 31st. My thanks to the administrator Alexandra Herr, and to everyone who voted for my image. Congratulations to Lucie Bilodeau and Karim Hussain, first and second place winners respectively.
This darling kitty is a resident of Old Bedford Village ... a living history museum in Bedford Pennsylvania. She very kindly posed for my camera several times. I think she's probably used to it!!!!
I think she was playing 'possom ... pretending to be sleeping as she laid there, all unconcerned about me and my camera, her tail twitched up and down .. up and down ..
Image taken with the Nikon D300 and the 18-200mm vr Nikon lens. Tonemapped in Photomatix Pro from a single hand-held shot, duplicated twice in PS to evals of +/-2. Textures and other twiddly bits added in Photoshop CS4.
