The eye of the tiger.

The tiger being Sammie that is :) Kind of hard to get a macro of a cat's eye... they don't quite like a camera being THAT close. My best attempt...

Really, really nice work Heidi. Not sure you could get better than this with something as unpredictable as a cat.

Wow! Wow! Wow!! Fantastic closeup!! Love it! Fav

[Tammi Burns]

Great closeup. How did you get so close without having your own eyes scratched out? : )

Amazing!

[Amy Westerman]

I have got to get me a macro!!! love this!

[Kass]

This is great! And I personally know how hard it is to get a photo like that - I've tried many times! ;-) Good job!

Stunning! I can hardly get a decent kitty portrait...I'd love to capture a macro of his eye...*sigh*

@benner15 @danielfisher @kerristephens @elephantgirl @amylouise @russianblue @poochpottery @myla @ellen Thank you for your nice comments! :)

@tsburns2001 My cats are very accustomed to cameras around, so they're pretty relaxed about it. I just held Sammie's head still and she just let me try for a photo for a few minutes, and then started to squirm. They're not scratchers unless they're scared.

Heidi, I think this is absolutely gorgeous.
