The reference to “blue” refers to the bluish tinge in the black fur. You get that in the shade because light in the shade is bluish. The “yellow” refers to the burnt grass and the yellow eyes: a nice contrast to the blue light in the shade.
The cat is Charlie. He lives with me. He is a three legged black cat. He is a good boy cat. He likes staying at home, inside. I put him out on the grass so he could smell the air and be in nature for a while. He stayed for about 30 minutes and enjoyed it. He rolled over and talked to me.
He is now back on my bed, snoozing. The photograph is pretty well exactly as taken. There has been almost no Photoshopping. I just adjusted the contrast and colour saturation slightly.
You can see flecks of grey hair on his shoulders. He is not young anymore.
So handsome. He looks deep in thought.
Charlie is a miniature “Black Panther”, a beautiful photo.
Thanks Rudolph. He is easy to photograph! Well he is quite easy to photograph. He is not that cooperative. Digital cameras make it easier.
Charlie is a most beautiful boy
Thanks Rose. I think it worked out well. The sharp texture of the yellow grass and soft texture of the blue/black fur. Just did it quickly as usual.
Beautiful, he’s really photogenic that cat, and well loved too.
It’s amazing the colours we can see on a black cat!
Another lovely photo of the handsome Charlie, thank you for sharing with us Michael.
I love photographing him. It is easy because he is a cat and all cats are photogenic.
Lovely Michael – I like Charlie and his raspy demanding voice.
Thanks Marc. Just a snapshot but I like it. He tends to come out looking handsome.
At least I saw a video you made of him where his meow sounded likek that…
I am thinking of recording it (wide range of sounds) and making an audio file but that is tricky.
