LMAO.....i am NOT touching that!!

Great pic.....nice natural looking image!!

I resisted looking at this thread, thinking 'i'm not going to be caught out....'

Glad I have no self control now. I like the image. Don't know how much the cats add to it, but the skin tones and lighting are really spot on. Nice.

Lovely image Bernie love the play between the cat and the model looking up. Ideally the foreground pussy(hope i'm being specific enough and normally i wouldn't wish for the removal of any pussy ) seems superfluous and in ways a little distracting from the main subject and their intentful gaze upward. Leaves the viewer intrigued

thanks to the brave 4 who left a comment......... I have nothing to say to the other 128 lookers.........

Ha! Make that the brave 5 Bigpix!.

This is a lovely, natural and tasteful photo.

I wonder what the lady and the cat on the left were looking at with their almost identical blue eyes?

If you cropped the out of focus foreground cat out, you get a much stonger photo in my humble opinion.

Well done!

Cheers

Yeah I'd lose the pussy... waaaaaaay too much fur if you ask me..

The image isn't bad... but it could be improved by perhaps healing or cloning out wrinkles at her waist as they are a little distracting.. the peacock feathers while a nice touch are also postioned a little in the wrong spot as it kinda looks like she is sprouting them from her back..

still its lovely and I am sure that the lady concerned is stoked with it...

I like this image, I think it could lend itself to a B&W traetment

Cheers

thanks to more brave soles...... I shot this image over 25 years ago.... with a metz flash in a brolly...... using a h/blad and transparency

EDIT: just did a recount make that over 33 years ago........

So I'm guessing she doesnt look like that no more then.... which would make this image all the more important to her now I would imagine...

its held up well... you won't see many of our digi images holding their quality for that many years I bet... transparencies rock...!!

We have a lovley cat that loves getting in the pics with the models but never will sit still long enough for a pic to be taken. She also hates to be picked up.. Nice shot...

Bernie,

I was going to comment that you'd gotten a real retro feel with this one, but seeing as it was shot in the 70s, it probably had a modern feel to it at the time.

Note that the "Views" count is rather misleading. It will count every single view - including the multiple times you have opened it to see people's comments. Additionally, for every person that comments, there will be 2 views each time they comment - one to see it initially and one after their post. Don't get to hung up on the number of views.

I like the image - looks reminiscent of photos I have in my 1970s/80s photography books.

If we all got hung up on comments vs views, no-one would post images - I have had plenty of posts where there have been three comments and over 100 views!

Sure, the foreground cat is distracting but i think there's enough interest in the rest of the image to keep it out of mind. Great image and a nice candid.
