Gili Orr replied

Yes, she has beautiful big eyes… thanks ;-)
Sensiworld

Selective colouring works perfect in this photo Gili !!
Gili Orr replied

Thanks, Sylvia! I hate boring people with different angles or versions of the same, but I wanted to learn from feedbacks, and it’s easier to compare when the other is still fresh in your memory…
Northof40

Looks like she or he is ready to attack…. Intense photo
Gili Orr replied

LOL… Her intense looks seems scary at times. People keep wondering what she is angry at… She is just after your soul, m8!! Thanks, Steve… Oh, can you tell me which one you prefer – the completely black and white one or this? Or maybe it’s just different, with no preference?
Northof40

This one
Gili Orr replied

Thanks… I saw you favorited it, too ;-)

Rabi Khan

this one is definitely tough, nicer cat but the last one looks something beyond cat! love sorry fear them both! lol great catch!
Gili Orr replied

OK, Rabi, that’s a good answer and an interesting one. Something beyond a cat… I must go look at it again through your eyes ;-) You didn’t make my choice easier, but you let me see that the less “shiny” has an effect of its own, no better or worse, just different… thanks!
Mark Ross

1: an act, song, or performer that wins applause so prolonged as to interrupt a performance
2: something or someone exceptionally arresting or attractive

Dayonda

Congratulations having this great photo Featured in the contest in the FOR THE LOVE OF CATS Group! 05 Aug 2008
I get those kind of looks from my cats, and they’re simply looking into your head to see who you are—looking into your soul, exactly as you said.
Gili Orr replied

Hi, Dayonda – thanks a lot for the congrats and the compliment and for sharing your experience with me, too. Cats are amazing creatures and I really wish I could read their thoughts sometimes.
Dayonda

Their expressions are so like ours that sometimes you can, but mostly, I know I can’t.
Ellen

A beautiful close-up!
Gili Orr replied

thank you, Ellen :-)
Ooderworld

Fabulous photo.
Gili Orr replied

Thanks a lot, Ooderworld!
Sandra Heath

If Hitchcick had done a film on cats instead of birds, your Emma surely would have starred! Lovely shot.
Gili Orr replied

LOL… Is she THAT scary?! Birds was a really scary movie… brrr… though Psycho had a much more traumatic effect on me (watching it at age 14). Well, I’ll take it as a compliment ;-) Thanks, Sandra!
Maureen Brittain

What an intense stare. great picture.
Gili Orr replied

Thank you so much, Serenity!
emele

So striking!
jennyfnf

The look is an ancient and wise one, unfathomable, subduing your spirit. You are at her mercy and her slave forever. To me the black and white has more impact, but She Who Must Be Obeyed is captivating:-)
Gili Orr replied

Wow, she would be delighted to hear that! Thanks a lot, Jenny!
Elana Bailey

Emma, is beautiful. My cat won’t let me get this close with the camera and always moves.
Gili Orr replied

She is special… She was lying on me, I had to get the camera in between us, but she waited patiently, like a good model… lol. Thanks, Elana!
Jennifer Potter

Beautiful image, very hypnotizing!
Gili Orr replied

Thanks a lot Dawn! She has that effect on people ;-)
helmutk

Spooky cat nice capture

LOL… She is the softest cat ever, really. Thanks, Helmut!
stephaniek

Awe!! It’s not Emma’s fault that she looks like she’s gonna scratch your eyes out if you come any closer!! Is it?? LOL. Excellent macro my friend!!
Gili Orr replied

Interesting interpretation… lol. she’d rather flee than attack, mostly… Thanks, Stephanie!!
Nathan Walraven

Wow, this is an exceptional picture! The eyes are so striking! Very nice!
Gili Orr replied

Thanks a lot for this lovely comment, nate!
Glenn Alderson

The detail is just awsome…...........well done on this capture.
NautilusBlue

Great eyes Gili
Gili Orr replied

;-) Emma is a soul searcher, we call her the philosophical cat…
Anni Morris

This definitely caught my eye…but I do find it a little scary :) ~ Anni
Gili Orr replied

;-) Can’t go on defending Emma forever… lol. She would love to be scary, though – the neighbor cats don’t recognize her territory at all! Thanks for stopping by, Anni!
davesphotograp...

Gili Orr replied

Glad you realize how cute she is ;-) Thanks, Dave!
Harald Gick

I’m really not sure if Emma is angry or not! :-) Beautiful shot!

JudyBJ

she is very beautiful !Give her a kiss on that flat nose from me :)
Gili Orr replied

;-) She is sleeping right now, curled on the bed next to me… (I am a bit ill in bed). Her nose is not as flat as a pedigree Persian, which is good for her (she is mixed with something). Thanx a lot, Judy, she will appreciate the kiss, she appreciates any and every bit of TLC.

Byron Gates Jr

You do some pretty snazzy work there young lady.
Byron Gates Jr
Gili Orr replied

I wonder what snazzy is;-) Sounds like a compliment, though… so, thanks, Byron!
Byron Gates Jr

It is. Great work.
Gili Orr replied

Oh, and I am not THAT young… lol.
Byron Gates Jr

My dear, years wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusism, wrinkles the soul.
Gili Orr replied

How true;-) I am just a kid, actually, playing with colors, pencils and pens, living inside my own world, loving Nature almost as much as I did 50 years ago…
Eyal Nahmias

What an intense gaze. The eyes simply grab the viewer attention in a commanding way. I do think that the cloth pattern under the mouth, (sofa, chair?) can be cloned out or selectively darkened. The blown highlights above the right eye can be either cloned or adjusted. It might be a very subjective preference, but I see the strength of this image in the powerful stare, and by being detracted by the highlights above them, my attention goes there, if I want it or not. Overall a fantastic capture with excellent details and intensity.
Gili Orr replied

Thanks a lot, Eyal! I still have to think about your suggestions… I may try it ;-)
RosaCobos

They do not change features and we or dogs…
They are like this since they are born.
Just siae and a bit more innocence.
I have come to know them . My older son has two at home. And they are amorous-... and free…..
They are with you whe they want. Do not fake their emotions, not can be bribed as dogs.
And I have discovered that they come when called…and love to get your nose near their and look intently into their eyes…adding a new dimension of relationship.
I love your Emma…I cannot have cats at home but I love them.
Have my love Gili
Rosa
Gili Orr replied

Oh, do you have any guesses why my work got cubistic and/or metalic lately? ;-)
Gili Orr

... and this is Lotje, the one who wants to be as close as possible, and cleans your face, too;~~) If I succeeded, you can click on the image to get to the bigger image… Thanks Rosa! I guess you are allergic to cats :~~(

mochilady

Gili Orr replied

LOL… It is actually possible to add a comment without going through it all – there is an “add a comment” under the image itself…
Thanks so much for you comment and determination to give it, despite the long scroll;-) I actually uploaded this image (and did the selective coloring) for a challenge/competition … that’s one the good things about challenges, they sometimes make us go a bit further, explore new possibilities…
