Christopher Robin, a portrait

My get pushed partner for this week challenged me to do a low key photo of a cat. This is my friend's new cat she named Christopher Robin, Robbie for short. I had a hard time getting this cat to look my way and finding the right light to do a low key shot. I'm afraid I had a lot of post processing assistance to get my photos accomplished.
@kathyboyles I had a photo shoot with my friend's cat this evening. This is the one I thought turned out the best.

Nice low key capture, cats can be very contrary at least he looked at the camera.

Was this light from the porch? Moody portrait, also because of the 'expression' of Christopher Robin :-)

A great capture of this beautiful cutie.

I think that was a tough challenge- first of all cats are not always cooperative! But secondly when it's not your cat, they can be even more skittish about posing for you. I think you did a good job!

@homeschoolmom Thank you Lisa
@craftymeg Yes he did. I was making noises at him as was his owner. He does kind of look disgusted with us, doesn't he.
@kwind Thank you
@overalvandaan Actually, the owner has a deck that is surround by a lot of trees. The cat happened to be at the opposite end from where I was and was in a spot of light from the sky. Thanks for commenting.
@pyrrhula Thank you
@olivetreeann I appreciate your empathy. Thank you for your comments.
@tunia Thank you Tunia
@tosee Thank you Tom

Hi, i'm your Get pushed partner for this week! (sorry this is a little late!)

Your challenge for this week...hmm...maybe some high speed photography?

Something with a shutter speed around 1/200th or more capturing some kind of movement or frozen moment in time? :D
