    wow stunning cat how did you get the black background? photoshop or real?

  • Sanne van Splu... replied

    A little bit of both ;) I used a black cloth as background, making sure the background was in the shadows and the cat in the daylight (though it was an overcast day). in photoshop, I further darkened the underground which was not entirely black yet

    I had a black cat for a few years who I loved dearly. This brings back the feeling. I like how the claws on the back feet look white.

    Once upon a time, I had two black cats. Both mutts, but every bit as cherished as this beauty. Splendid capture and work.

    black pets are horrible to photograph, but when you do get some good shots, you know it’s worth all the trouble :) thanks so much for your kind words
