My photographs aim at being true, not at being beautiful because, [i]what is true[/i] is most often beautiful.

Did you use the black BG to bring out the whiskers? or is that black BG brought about by lassoing the image away from its original BG? It looks like it was because of a couple spots that look more feathered than others.

Biologically speaking, it is a very interesting photograph.

I love this technique. I had a ton of fun exploring my backyard looking for subjects to scan after seeing your last scanner posts. I do like the unusual view of the sunflower and all the details rendered by the use of the scanner! I'm also finding that I like your more haphazard composition here when compared to the things I tried to carefully arrange.

haphazard? haphazard, you say? how dare you!!!

i'll have you know, that i sweat bullets for more than 20 seconds arranging this flower.

but seriously, i really prefer images (taken or viewed) that do not have a sense of being "composed". i feel that this creates a more accessible entrance to an image that, at the very least, gives the viewer a perception of the freedom to roam and to discover things for himself, as opposed to being "told" what to see.

of course, all images that are sucessful at appearing uncomposed are, in fact, very carefully composed.
