Portrait of a Lady

Camera Critters
"Portrait of a Lady" is this week's "Camera Critters" post. If you want to participate, click on the image above.


We all have plans for the future and one of mine is to create a galley of portraits of all the cats I've loved and adored. With that in mind, I take any opportunity my cats present me with, waiting for the right moment to capture the perfect "portrait" - which, let's face it, can take a while with cats that constantly roll and yawn!

This week Ella decided she'd pose for me - giving me the opportunity to snap a handful of shots, the following two included. My dilemma now is to pick one of these two to be framed - something that's proving to be a hard task!

What are your thoughts? Can you decide which "Portrait of a Lady" you'd enlarge and frame as part of a gallery of kitty portraits?

  3. You're right - not easy to get this kind of shot. My are all head shots. :)
    It's hard to decide which one - two moods here.
    I like the second 'sweet look' one!
    Good shots!

  5. Ella is such a cutie and I like both the poses..

    My favourite would be that second one ...she's holding her face at a slight angle, which is appealing..

    Excellent job at getting her to sit still and pose for you ..great captures !!

  6. I do like both for different reasons, but I'd go with the first for that really aloof look. Majestic pose.

  9. Great shots of a beautiful cat! She posed so nicely for you. I, too, would have a hard time deciding between the two shots.
