Enjoying Frank

Here is my husband once again. He is enjoying relaxing with a kitten at my cousin's house at the week end. He loves cats and so would have been content to sit drinking tea and chatting for a good while longer. A perfect Saturday morning occupation - especially when accompanied with fine company, good coffee, bacon rolls and croissants! I created a more permanent feel to the snap with the water colour effect, hoping that this would preserve the moment for him.
The water colour effect really works well and he does look very content. I would be too with that lovely breakfast!

Sounds like a Saturday morning I would love! Wonderful shot of your husband! I really like the water color effect! Works well with this image!

Agree with others - this is a good composition and the effect works very well indeed

I love the candidness of this capture, and also the processing. Always great to read about another cat lover!

@flowerfairyann @leestevo @kategoring @gaylewood @handymaurice @tristansmum you all mentioned the processing which surprised me a bit - I do like it but I still think that perhaps it is cheating - obviously if the photo had been taken with better settings in the first instance, I would never have thought of processing. It covers the flaws! But....thank you for your kind comments. And I particularly liked the effect the processing had on the kitten.

Almost looks Norman Rockwell - love his smile.

@helenhall Helen processing is never cheating - its what photographers have always done in the dark room - but I know what you mean - we always strive to get the best straight out of camera and always should do
