Spontaneous Portrait of a Thoughtful Cat


Originally posted December 8, 2009 | Revamped September 20, 2013



There isn't much to say about this cat portrait other than that it is one of favourite photos of Smarty and one of my favourite photos ever, and that it was about time it got a little revamp. (Oh, and that it appears to be one of your favourite photos of mine as well, considering the amount of comments, faves, and views it has collected over the years, which makes very happy, as it portrays my beloved kitty.)

I didn't do much though because I genuinely like it as it is. Still, I felt like a little editing was needed, so I removed the thin black border, updated the watermark with something more stylish, and finally saturated the colours just a little bit. :3

The entire setup of this photograph goes to show that, while taking photographs of pets is not an easy task for anyone, the results always pay off in the end.

The focus on this photograph mixes well with the closeness to the subject's face (especially with the little "coffee grounds" or whatever is dotted on the cat's nose). Everything that portrays what the cat is both doing and thinking is well presented.

When you look into the cats' eyes, you start to wonder - as the title rightly suggests - what the cat might be daydreaming or thinking about. This photograph of a cat relaxing, with a very contended, thoughtful look on its face, may well mean anything to those who see this photo.
