I was asked by a workmate if i could take some shots of their 13 week old kitty. Here is one from the series, shot with single overhead strobe through a white umbrella. Fuji X-E1 and 35/1.4. Processed in NIK Silver effex.

Brilliant image! It would print beautifully and look amazing at a very large size. I think you just snagged the next POTW.

Thanks Matt. You would not believe how difficult it was to get some decent shots. The kitty would not sit still for more than 1/2 second (and you would know the Fuji is not the fastest at obtaining focus! (but getting better - waiting patiently for 23/07 firmware )).

Astounding image. Absolutely. I'm not a great admirer of dog and cat shots, but this one is sensational.

A stunner of a shot and a deserving POTW winner. You've handled the cat's colour and the dark floor superbly. And oh that eye contact. Like Matt I can see this one nice and large on a wall.

Geoff, I'd call this picture simply "Kat" so that it's brilliance is not overshadowed by the word "cute". Very nice light and posture there. Looks like you have read light science and then created some magic.
Could we have a look at the color picture?
