A change in subject matter, but still using High Contrast techniques. I took an out of focus photograph of Linus our cat and put it through my high contrast workflow, after sharpening it as much as possible. I used PhotoPaint to sharpen the photograph and then applied the workflow I have discussed here previously.
I used Filter Forge's film frame for a finishing touch. Linus has been a fairly good cat for us. With the usual kitty stuff that comes with the territory. Which is frustrating to clean up. Spring and Fall he, being a longer haired cat, sheds profusely. He is a Maine Coon halfbreed of some sort. We don't know the other type of parent he had but one must have been the Maine Coon as he has the five toes and the fur and coloring.
Recently we had friends over and two of them were young girls ages 11 and 14. They loved him and he got more than the usual attention. Afterward he expected the same from us, poor guy, he did not get that much attention from us. But he did not pout. Cats own us, we don't own cats.
