Saturday Self-Challenge: Pictures taken from a cat's eyes perspective

Both my cats love to be brushed, so I thought this is probably their favorite view (besides their food!). Since cats are supposed to be rather nearsighted and not able to see colors as vibrantly as humans, I amplified the shallow DoF while de-saturating the image to simulate how a cat sees this scene.

Janet Brien, Peter_Private_Box, Smiley Derleth, Au Cœur... diagonalhorizon and 32 other people have particularly liked this photo

I wouldn't like it much, either, but then if I had a nice thick coat like they do, it might be a different story... ;-)

The shallow DoF works great here and the diagonal lines add to the strength of the image, Val. Our Mizzie doesn't approve of most brushes and has drawn blood quite a few times! It is interesting to read what you say about the special glove with rubber nubs on it because recently we tried one of these. And, Mizzie does seem to almost like it :-)
6 years ago.
Valfal club has replied to Roger Bennion club
Thank you so much for your kind words, Roger. I think the glove with nubs on it give the right amount of pressure without scratching their skin. My cats love the brush, but they love the glove even more!

I like how you used the effect too.

Nice one, Val. Our cat's not too sure of the brush, but gradually getting used to it.

Good idea... but there are brushes that imitate another cat's tongue.

Valfal club has replied to Taormina
I saw those kind of brushes! My cats really love a glove I use that has rubber nubs on it, but I didn't photograph it because it was too messy looking.

Great, Val! Now that you mention it, my cat probably needs to be brushed, as he has long hair. There are fur balls all over the place.

Thanks Kenny! Better break out the brush and get those hairballs tamed!
