A portrait of Nikita

Hi,

It's ages since I last posted photos of Nikita, I've only got the one right now.

I'm really proud of it though, wanted to go for an old school star portrait style

Wow. It's BEAUTIFUL. I would be proud of it, too. I have enjoyed your photos of Nikita the whole time I have been a member of the forum, but this is one of the most beautiful cat portraits I have seen here. Bravo! Give snuggles to beautiful Nikita for me.

Wow, what a beautiful picture!

Wow! That`s really beautiful Of course you have a beautiful subject which always helps

beautiful portrait!

WOW. Awesome!

Absolutely stunning. I've always thought Nikita was incredibly beautiful as well.



What was she doing when you took that?

She was looking out the window. You can see it reflected in her eyes a tiny bit.

what a beautiful pic....ever think of going into photography?

Glad you enjoyed the photo!

as for your question, it sort of depends on what you mean by going into photography. I mean, I take a lot of pictures and I print some of them and I've been the wedding photographer on two occasions for friends of mine etc. so as a hobbyist I'm definitely 'into photography'.

However I am very happy in my job (I'm a software engineer) and getting into being a professional photographer is pretty hard, uncertain and I'm rather worried that turning photography into a job would ruin it for me. I.e. part of the enjoyment for me now is that it's a hobby, it's where I go to destress and just have fun.

So, yes and no, but I'm very happy where I am now

That photo is stunning!
