Default Spot

Yes, I know she doesn't have any Spots. My 3 year old named her.

This may be the nicest photo I've ever taken of her--she usually moves toward the camera so fast (to be petted) that I can't get her in focus. Improvement suggestions?

As a cat owner, I know how devishly hard it is to get a good shot of one. I like how this one turned out. You got Spot's eyes nicely in focus. BTW, I think Spot is just a purrfect name!

I think it's a great photo. Knowing how cats are, if their eyes are in focus, you've succeeded...unless the picture is of them sleeping or something.

I think I can feel my allergies coming on

Seriously you really did an awesome job capturing the eyes. I swear it looks like Spot is gonna pounce.

Lovely shot. I think it would be nice to capture a similar shot with the feet in the frame as well.

I was gonna ask is the second color in the cat's eye a reflection of the natural color of the eye?
