Low Key Zig-eye

[Kerry Perkins]

This is my cat Ziggy. He is the epitome of "low key", and at 24 pounds he is lovable if not luggable... Topaz filters again (I'm hooked!) - Detail and Clean with some selective masking and sharpening on the eye. We've been talking about high key images in ETL, so I thought I would have a go at the other end of the scale.

BTW, much of the detail is lost if you view this image against a white background! I suggest that you switch to the "Blackend" skin to look at it. The light backgrounds wash out what little contrast there is, but there is some there!

I like the low key look to this and the filtering is cool. Killer eye!

Beautiful and unique, Kerry. Love the way you handled it. Fascinating eye and the whisker detail is cool.

That glowing eye is fantastic, Kerry. Like the OOTB unique, low-key treatment and low-key mystery kitty feel to this. Like how there is just enough detail and how it disappears into the black BG. Nice work!

Kerry, this is a masterpiece! The low key and the texture is very effective. The killer eye makes it so much more intriguing. One of your best!!!

Beautiful, Kerry! That eye tells the whole story...
