get pushed #92 - portrait of an animal

my get pushed partner this week, lyn berriman @lynnilou, challenged me to an animal shot. of course i can manage an animal shot even though i'm terrified of dogs, i'm allergic to cats and of course it doesn't help that spring is starting to assert itself so that my allergies are starting to come to fore.

on our walkabout last sunday we saw this little fellow sitting on the steps. i managed to get a few good shots before it decided to walk towards me but quickly disappeared when i started to sneeze. there's really no way i can take a more artful shot without getting near this baby so i hope lyn likes this one.

@lynnilou - as promised, here's a proper animal shot.

Cats always know who is allergic to them, and they try to rub against them! :-)) nice portrait of his fellow; he looks like a tomcat.

[Maggiemae]

Rather nice to get his eyes matching the steps in the background!

You did well to get this very nice portrait, considering that you are allergic to cats! Cute cat!

[8yearson]

Lovely cat portrait, nice light and tones!

[Claire]

Oh this is a beautiful cat, b&w cats are very friendly even more so if they know they are going to annoy you - it is in their cat nature;0)

He's a cute little guy! I like how his nose disappears because of his coloring.

[Sally Ings]

He is quite a smart looking fellow. I like that he seems to be looking straight at the camera

I can see you heading up an ETSOOI challenge with cats as the subject! Nice kitty!

Nice one. I have tried to capture a cat, they always run away every time.

sweet!!

You did great! Funny how there's that magical dividing line...on one side you can get a quick picture...cross it and you've got a new friend rolling at your feet! I have no trouble with cats...love them...but getting a photo of a strange one always ends with them walking toward me and I get terribly unusable closeups!
