Silly Kitty

I bought this new shelf yesterday that was ridiculously easy to put together. I needed one because my cat likes to knock everything off of my counters, so I wanted a shelf that would be more difficult for him to reach. Well it works, but it doesn't work. I found out that he can jump to the shelf just under the top and I'm hoping he doesn't try to jump higher. He was enjoying himself and playing with some toys on the shelf below him. Here's some photos from that. All I did was adjust the levels a little bit and desaturate the background.

I was having fun with my macro lens the other day and here's a photo that came out of it that I just absolutely love. Here is the photo, and the process I used to get to the final product.

I took the photo with my 50mm f/2.8 lens and this is what I got.


I then did some sharpening and some levels adjustment in Photoshop, and then put it into PictureProject and changed it into Sepia.

After doing some posting on DPS (Digital Photography School), I got some good critique on what I should fix, such as lightening a bit around the eye. So I did a bit of dodging around the left side of the head and the bottom left near the eye, and here is my final result.
