I love cats, but I'm having trouble finding anything I like about this photo. Sorry! It's so overly processed with blown highlights and high contrast--obviously you intentionally processed it this way. Can you elaborate more on why? I realize you needed all the black background to keep its whiskers in the photo, but I find the crop doesn't work for me because of that dark background. Makes the photo seem as though it is off balance. :confused:

I have to agree with you. Just does not look good.

What is 'high camp'? lol Inquiring minds need to know. :confused:

As far as the photograph goes: yes, it was deliberately over-processed. Why? No particular reason.
I was goofing around and just liked the way it 'popped'. So unlike anything I would ever do normally.
I do see stuff like this all the time in galleries so it can't be all strange. Maybe.

Absolutely no artistic endeavor here ... just having fun. :cheerful: (figured the PS folk would like it ;) )

I view high camp as similar to the works of Andy Warhol and some of the best art is produced by people having fun and enjoying what they are doing. Sometimes we moan about the hard work but there is really nothing else we would rather be doing. I could see your cat photo as a super large poster in an ultra modern room.
