Alpha Cat

Gallery: Man & FaunaPosted December 27, 2015144 views4 comments

Ajax - one of our seven rescue cats (two of them rescued themselves, i.e,, they showed up in our yard and stayed - they promptly lost their manhoods.....). Ajax is the boss of the herd, and is also the smartest cat that I have ever met (and I have met MANY cats over the last 60+ years). Very talkative and opinionated, he will chase you while pawing at you if he disagrees with some of your decisions. He is also my avatar.

Alberto,

as I said already before cats are usually very nice to photgraph and portaits usually show alos their personality very well. This is seen in this image and fits perfectly to your narration. Technically very good as well and my only wish would have been a vertical orientaion showing a the paws at the bottom.

Excellent portrait, Alberto. You captured that inimitable cat stare perfectly. The dof works nicely.

Hi Alberto,

That's a nice looking cat. Big version shows a lot of nice detail, especially in the eyes. Well done..........................Jim
