Yes. I left everything but that narrow boundary region untouched.
Nonetheless strange how the very same information that is transmitted to the brain is analyzed after being transmitted. Another hint to the fact that not our eyes but our brains see and perceive the world. Our eyes simply receive and transmit optical informatuion but our brains construct the picture of the world, that is not necessarily always true.
Much like the fact that our eyes are only capable of registering about 1 frame of the world avery 1/10 second. The brain "reconstructs" all that is "assumed " to happen between those tenths of seconds, and our consciousness gains the impression of flowing motion, where the eyes still capture isolated pictures of a continuous world.
Sorry, the scientist goes too far again ;-)
Bye,
Nick

I guess it is because this is what the eyes focus on. The rest is just a dark background?

Oh, just for the record, I made only the contours of the cat a bit smoother - that is only a narrow zone around the boundary lines with the dark background. Nonetheless it really appears just as if the whole photo would have been softened and blurred.
Any ideas anybody, why it seems to be that way? Optical illusion?
Keep well,
Nick
P.S.: And of course I like the photo! For me it is an owl, the noiseless flier phantom of the night. ;-)

Yes, I see what you mean making the entire photo smooth and a bit blurry.
Thanks for your comment. I thought you might like this one:-)
Best wishes,
Annemette

Wow, a very unusual photo in a very modern style! It puts the cat in such a perspective that it cease to be a cat. It could be the face of an owl standing on a branch that extends behind it, or even a night creature telling some secret. The light blurryness of the foreground helps fantasy to create any possible connection!
Perhaps only a bit smoother contours of the cat?
Anyway, soft dark grey on black and much to intrepret. Definitely one of my favorite kinds of photography.
Take care,
Nick

Ah! The cats that won't hold still! Hope they did not get their noses on your lens. :)
Funny shot with that big blurry eye in the foreground.
