Green-eyed tabby
Reposted since the image wasn't showing up, despite several comments (thanks for the comments)
A green-eyed cat sits on a rock by the Baker River, Aysen, Patagonia. The Baker River is famous for its remarkable turquoise-blue color, similar to the cat's eyes. This is a pre-conceived image. I made friends with this green-eyed tabby at the Green Baker Lodge and thought it would look good sitting on a large round rock near the river's edge, but there was no way a cat would allow that. So I 'posed' the cat on a similar rock away from the shore (it would stay still for about a second each time I put it on the rock). When I had a usable pose, I took a shot of the river rock and using photoshop, placed the cat on the rock. No animals were harmed in the making of this image :-)

on November 30, 2019It's a great shot regardless of the photoshop relocation . The cats markings are reminiscent of European wildcat I wonder if it is a cross-breed?

on November 30, 2019That's a pretty cat for sure. I found it unusual when I saw the photo that it was perched by the water which is so unusual for a cat to do. Then I read your commentary and said, "Ah ha!" What a wonderful image for sure. I like that you had the idea, and it worked out brilliantly.

on November 30, 2019Looks like a natural and perfect pose of the tabby by the river--nice to have color-coordinated river and eye color!

on November 30, 2019Amazing composite, and if you hadn't explained it, I really would have taken it for a single shot. I suppose the color in the river is from suspended particles of some mineral. That's usually the cause, I think.
