Green Eyes
Posted by MARIANA (Waterloo, Canada) on 7 May 2009 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.
My cat Cicy has the most beautiful green eyes I have ever seen ... Trust me :))) She likes posing for my camera. Even when she is sleeping and hears the sound of the camera she is right away close to me , expecting new photos ! You will see much more of her. I love taking shots of her !
Scott Schilling from San Martin, United States

This is fantastic.
Those cool and limpid Green Eyes -
A pool wherein my love lies.
So deep that in my searching for happiness
I fear that they will ever haunt me,
All through my life they'll taunt me.
But will they ever want me?
Green Eyes, make my dreams come true

This is not your ordinary cat photo, which is great. I get tired of the same old shots. The fading of the cat into the background is very original. Fab!

Magnificent portrait and saturation of the eyes ... but for me, the color of the frame is too vivid and wide... too present...my eye is distracted by it.

@Francesc B.: Oh, I am sorry :)) ha ha .. Ok, next time no green little border :) I just thought about it to emphasize Cicy's eyes :))
Mathilde Collot from Fontainebleau, France

REMARKABLE!!! Cicy deserves the spotlight…you have brought out every beautiful detail of hers. Those green eyes are to die for…her b&w fur is so silky…love the fade to the black background. I have not seen a better cat portrait done ever. If I could I would save Cicy to my favorites…EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@Lynn: Thanks Lynn ! Well, you know how much I love my Cicy, but I still think your cat Ciara is the most beautiful cat in the world :)))

The hint of red in the gorgeous green of the eyes of this majestuous King Cat is a gem as well as the whole pic itself, so sharp & full of power !

jeff (aka dogilicious) from Millerstown, PA, United States
I used to be annoyed by all the pictures of cats on Am# but recently there have been some tremendous images of our feline friends. This is the best yet. Kudos!
7 May 2009 7:21pm
@jeff (aka dogilicious): Thanks . I understand people love their pets so much and constantly posting their photos, but once you see pets all the time from the same photographer is really annoying :)) The same with landscapes, flowers , or whatever else . It is great to see variety from the same great photographer ! That is what I like and expect to see from others too ;))
LauraS from Chico, United States
I actually LIKE the green border, and love the treatment of the photo and the cat's eyes. I think you are very, very lucky to have such a beautiful cat who also LIKES to be photographed. Mine does not, but I wish he did.

dkc from Xanthi, Greece
Wow....Those emerald eyes are the just the most wonderful I have seen for a loong time...I don't have problem with the green border. I think it fits with the eyes indeed...You should send this pic to a contest about pet images...You will go to the top3 for sure!!

This is beyond belief stunning. And yes, what green eyes this kitty has. BIG BRAVO!

Barbara from Florida, United States
I agree with everyone as I am speechless to find the word that expresses this best.
Incredible markings of the cat hide the real nose and give a smile. A perfect blend into the black background.
I will be very happy to see more.

My dear friend thank you so much for this one. outstanding indeed. this shot really shows up the colour contrast and the eyes really fight for full attention and they are amazing. actually I've never seen eye colours on a cat before like these.
