Diego

Just a few shots of my cousins cool cat, Diego.

A real little mico-tiger who is very friendly, but a superb hunter, brought back mice almost everyday.

He figured out ring pull tins pretty quick too:

I was playing with pretty extreme contrasts here to get a different feel to the pictures.

Great pictures - I love the last picture! :)

Not a cat person - but I liked that very much!

"Keep an eye on things" is the one for me. Just a thought, but can look fairly cool if you keep the eyes in full colour and the rest B&W.

Thanks for all the comments, deemac I tried that but it just looks strange. See what you think:

Riffman,

What a superb series of animal portraits.

great photo,s..RIFFMAN...the last one is a little scary with the coloured eye...

[Deemac]

I'd have tried an orange tone and cloned the top eye over to the bottom. Hey it's just a thought - still a great image.

[Riffman]

Well, the problem is that his eyes are this strange green colour, but when you see him in real life, they suit him perfectly.

Great cat to photograph, especially when he is hungry, he will do almost anything to get fed, even open his own tins! [lol]
