Artist Reply: Thank you again Marsha. Elvin tends to be a very cooperative subject when you catch him enjoying a sun spot on a Sunday afternoon. Glad you like this shot.
superb capture,funny and nice cat,with very expressive eyes.
Artist Reply: Thank you very much for your comment Yves. He's so photogenic, but I have to hold myself back from flooding my portfolio with cat pictures. Appreciate your stopping by to look.
Artist Reply: Thank you very much, Lynne. Not only is he fluffy, but he apparently lives in a pretty dusty house! Appreciate your stopping by and leaving a nice comment.
Artist Reply: Thank you very much Cindy. I know you share an eye for the special dimension the sun can add to a shot. Appreciate your comment.
Artist Reply: Thank you very much Cindy. Would sure like to see what your artistic interpretation of Elvin's pose would be. Appreciate your stopping by to take a look.
Great Shot! You get such good light. This and your bales are the kind of photos I try to get to paint from.
Artist Reply: Thank you so much Joan. I would be absolutely thrilled to see what you could paint from either of these shots. Let me know if you would like a high res .jpg. We have a little white Maltese, too, who would definitely fit right in with Daria and Cosmo. Unfortunately, she doesn't stay still like Elvin, so pictures of her are few and far between. Love your portfolio and appreciate your comments.
vERY INTERRESTING CAPTURE!LIKE THE LIGHTNING IN THIS ONE.THE CAT SEEMS TO BE SO PEACEFUL AND LETS YOU COME VERY CLOSE..TRUSTING .THE EYES WELL IS REALLY SOMETHING HERE!!GREAT FOCUS.
Artist Reply: Thank you very much Heli. Yes, Elvin is mostly OK with close-up shots. Much more cooperative than the dog. Appreciate your stopping by to take a look.
Artist Reply: Thank you very much Pam. Elvin is very accommodating when it comes to close-ups. I think he's secretly preparing a portfolio for breaking into Hollywood. Glad you like it.
Artist Reply: Thank you very much Ruth. He lets me get pretty close with the camera (most of the time), so he definitely knows the way to stardom. My dog is clueless. Oh well. . .
Artist Reply: Thanks Sharon. I'm really a dog person, but Elvin is much more cooperative in front of the camera than our dog. So he gets much more exposure. Glad you like the shot.
Artist Reply: Thank you Stef. Guess Elvin is as popular a subject with my camera as Extra is with yours. They have a way of showing some great expressions, don't they? Appreciate your comment.
