Cats Up Close - February 2016 Picture Of The Month

Let's take a close look here...

Our topic this month is close-up shots!  


Our sponsor for this contest is - 

Bravo

The winner will be getting two pouches of Bravo all-natural cat treats


Prizes can be shipped within the US only but please don't let that stop you from joining in the fun! If you win, I'm sure we can think of a US-based shelter you can donate the prize to (or even to another TCS member!).  

Submissions will be accepted through Saturday, February 20th. 

The Rules:

1. Choose the best picture you have for our monthly theme and post it to this thread. Please mention the cat's name!
    
2. Image needs to be clear and not too small. 480 pixels high by 640 pixels wide minimum.  Larger is better.
    
3. One submission per member please 
   
   
    
4. No special effects, borders, graphics or text on the pictures. 

Photos will not be monitored during the contest. If your photo is found to be too small or unclear, it will not be included in the voting stage.

Our cats are ALL amazingly beautiful! This friendly photo contest is about the way in which the cat is captured in the picture. We're not looking for professional photography, but do try to keep things like image quality, lighting and composition in mind. 

Good luck everyone!

Hey- why are you taking a picture of Henry when you COULD be taking a picture of ME?? - Lilith

Here's a photo of Shelby. He was my special little guy who always loved to pose for the camera like a true model. He passed away from HCM in June.

It's hard to get a good picture of Shadow because she wants to come to me when I try and take pictures.

Chula sleeping is the only time I can get an in-focus photo of her face!  (I hope it is okay that I posted this in the Sleeping Cats thread as well - I forgot about the contest!)

Little Mercy

Big Clyde at the window.

Oh boy, this is a tough one for me as I take SO many close up photos of Mouse, often with a macro lens.  A lot of them just show his fur though so I've selected one that shows his calm, loving purrsonality for this.  

Miss Purrdy!

My precious Yunis.

This is my big boy Auzzi. He loves the camera, and we have hundreds of photos! I'm sure there are going to be many beautiful cat close up's. Really enjoy this site.
