The only editing was to adjust the color of the picture as a whole and sharpen the pictures a bit. I hope you enjoy

Wow

Blizzard's eyes are absolutely stunning. I always find blue-eyed kitties' expressions particularly haunting (in a good way, of course), but Blizzard's eyes are just gorgeous. The blue of his eyes are as bright as the sky and as deep as the ocean. Perhaps the haunting trait I mentioned earlier is because I feel cats with blue eyes have a human quality to them. They draw you in. And, Blizzard is no exception. He is just a beautiful cat.

And, Lynx is quite special as well. His green eyes are striking and I love the black markings that extend on either side of his eyes. And, his coloring as a whole gives him such character. He looks almost as if he is brooding -- you know, a la Robert Pattinson from Twilight. He just has an intense look. Quiet, strong, and unnerved. I could be completely wrong, but that's the beauty about photography...it's open for interpretation...

Your cats are absolutely gorgeous. And, your photos are equally so. Thank you for sharing them.

Beautiful photos. I could get lost in Blizzzard's eyes! They're very hypnotic.The marking on Lynx's nose is so cute. I love those eyes as well. Such sweet kitties

Beautiful! What kind of camera do you use? Mine broke and as I am looking for a new one, I might as well get one I really want, so any tips are welcome. My old one did not take good close ups, and I do long to take shots like yours.

Wow. Those are beautiful shots, and beautiful kitties. I also love the markings around Lynx's eyes. I love the middle picture of Lynx, where he looks so alert, and his whisker-pads around his nose are all puffed out with his whiskers looking like antennae.

Lynx's face looks an awful lot like my Prowler... just a little more brown tabby-ish than Prow. Lovely pics; lovely subjects.

Well, Lynx was trying to decide if he dared to go for the food with me so close to it. Do I, don't I, do I, don't I....

I used a Nikon D60 (I think
). It works really well for taking close up pictures but for some reason takes better pictures if I am 7 feet away from the cat I am photographing. So I just zoom in and go from there.

I took a lot more pictures last night, playing with the aperture. I'm trying to get a picture to enter in the fair so am taking a lot of pictures. I have a few more I like of Blizzard and Lynx, as well as a few of Nightmare's eyes (the only part of the picture that shows up are his eyes so it looks really cool).

Thanks everyone for the comments! I really appreciate them

Thanks!

I don't think you would want to see some pictures of Chester from the night I took Blizzard and Lynx's. Unless you like the looks of a cats face after they got beef liver blood all over their face...from cleaning out the bucket I had put the liver in. Its not too cute
