This photo is exactly as taken – zero Photoshopping. It is of Gabriel a kitten I am fostering. I have to say that when I do edit photos I do it very judiciously – meaning in a very limited way because if it is overdone it ruins the picture. Photography should have a genuineness about it which is the source of a photograph’s strength and attractiveness.
I love it for its purity, elegance and the expression on Gabriel’s face. The purity and simplicity of the photo is in keeping with Gabriel himself. The colors are truish – he is a little bit browner than this. You can see that Gabs is a grey/brown spotted tabby cat. His eyes are the same color almost.
For people who don’t know, Gabriel is a semi-feral kitten who I am currently fostering and socialising. He is coming on nicely.

I love the bright expression on his face and the grey bright eyes.
Has he got blue eyes?? He looks like he does. Mind u thats prob just the kitty Stage. I just love those Photos.
I always do prefer natural look or simple esp when it comes to Cats. You take such amazing photos.
I love how cats are “curtain twitchers”, having to see everything go on. They’d make valuable neighbourhood watch members if only they could speak 😉
I am pleased you prefer the natural look. Personally I think it suits the subject matter in this instance.
He is Very Handsome and Beautiful. Love those Grey Colours and Yes I prefer the Natural look too.
