    Was a bit bored one night and played around on the hairstyle in one of the editing programs

    Pierre, Nice effect - Topaz Clean? I might try to mask back in the original eyes for more impact if it were mine. I also usually like a little more on top then bottom. As presented I might take a slice off the bottom and add a little canvas to the top. That said, this is fantastic! I love the open mouth and huge paws. The color tones are warm and sweet. BTW, Welcome to OOTB- Nice first post!

    Hello Pierre, looks like you discovered Topaz Clean! If not it's a very similar treatment. I like the way the fur looks, the nice background, and the lovely warm colors. I would suggest working on the outer edge of the cat to fix the halo effect of an added line. It might be nice to mask back the original eyes. I might crop a little from the bottom and add that same amount to the top, feels a little tight up there. Nice image, thanks for sharing!

    PS - was typing this while Denise was posting!

    Welcome to OOTB, Pierre! . Agree the suggestions by Denise and Kerry would take it up a notch. Great pose, framing and effects. I like the contrasting treatment of bg.
