Russian Blue

This Russian Blue was wandering around in the botanical garden. He kept walking up to be petted but i still thought it is a nice portrait even if the ears are missing a bit ; )

Nice portrait, especially of those characteristic green eyes.
I think pets and domesticated animals go in the "Man and Nature" Gallery..

A nice portrait, Ester. As far as the clipped ears, you might want to crop a bit further and I think that one and all will think it's intentional. As long as the curve of the head is there, further cropping forces even more attention on the cat's face.

Regards,

Carol

Good portrait. Cats are amazing animals, just look at this face and the eyes. The background works well, I don't mind the ears.

The clipped ears don't bother me at all. Very nice!
