This kitty cat was resting patiently waiting for company to arrive. This magnificent cat is a resident of Miami’s Metro Zoo. He was painted with a Nikon D300s, using a Nikkor 300mm f/4D IF-ED lens, with a Nikkor 1.7 T/C.

Hi Gus,
you have a lot of detail in the hair on this fellow. I see that you used a number of techniques to get that sharpness. The black background really works to make him pop out of the screen.
You right about degrees of adjustment, I am using Capture NX2 and number scale, what program are you processing with.
Thank you,
Clive
Good idea on the bg but not sure about the sharpening? ... looks a little over but maybe its just on my end .. particularly the nose area !! Sure wish we could get there at an earlier time with good light !!!
