Floating cat head

[Mr.U]

Fuji neopan 1600 B&W Shot @ 1.4f/ Shutter speed I cant remember.....When I got this back from the lab I couldint believe how the head was so perfectly focused but the bod and neck was a blur .......Figured I would share it with the online family to collect some thoughts... this is a direct scan from the neg. no P.S. The lab loved it I felt so proud -Mr.U

Crazy picture considering no manipulation, that is certainly a great shot. I hate to say it, but it's almost "too" perfect, as it looks fake in a sense. It's an amazing sense of focusing, but it just seems really odd. But, still, a great shot!

I have to agree with Jar.as it almost has that fake quality, however I think its the combination of the odd angle and the cat look with head somewhat tilted at the lens... Fantastic shot either way.

cheers.

Thanks for the comments....Kelly I gave up I am a dunce. My only regrets are the left side of the image is completely blown out...I did not notice this till my friend pointed it out to me but the floor at the bottom of the pic is in focus aswell...Sometimes when you press that shutter release you never know what you might get......This was my first time with the neopan 1600 it was fun but indoor under normal house lights....It makes everyone look like a zombie.....Fun stuff but wierd. I have learned so much just from serfing this site .....thanks to you all for that. -Mr.U

Mr.U,
Don't be a cup half empty sorta person, everyone liked it as do I.

I love the stare the cat is giving (me) in this photo. She's very focused (pardon the pun). One of the best animal portraits I've seen. Nice job Mr.U

[Mr.U]

LOL I am really not like that....More sarcasum than anything... Thankyou for the compliment....I would recomend the canon 50mm 1.4/f USM to anyone....I now the reviews said razor sharp but dang.....It really did improve my photography....its been a real hoot experementing with this sucker. Thanks again -Mr.U (James)

Hello Mr.U ( your name also James ? )

You really got a shot to be proud of.
The focus is spot on and the dof ( blur ) of the backside of the cat is great !

Good work.
