Excellent pet portrait this one , dear Jan
As first attempt of digitization of an image, I am sure, you have fully succeeded.
Great job.
Congrats.

Thank you for the poem--
The dry raspy tongue laps at pools of milky gold; overlapped by the dark sky sprinkled with bottle stars. The scent is in the air of perfumed musk but to no avail the beast sniffs its prey.

Bulbs in the night or stars in the abyss. The yellowness of the eyes portray a glow of gold contrasted by pupils like a planet in the orbit of a black galaxy. Does the cat think? does it have a soul? Is it pensive or frightentened until every thing degenerates to a brilliant artistic and phographic adventurism salivating for definition.

Thanks for your kind comments, Meg. The only Photoshop work here is the coloring of the eyes (iris) and slight sharpening along with the crop.
Roland has goofy eyes and often they do not track.

I haven’t seen the first posting of this image so can’t comment on the difference. This is my kind of crop though, I have several of my own cats in this same fashion and my motto is…’Get close, and then get closer still’.
As it’s apparently been well commented on before I don’t want to go on too much about the eyes, but it’s obvious there has been some Photoshop work done here.
I do find it a little distracting that the eyes don’t match, i.e. they are not both looking at the same spot.
That apart you did well, cats on the whole don’t tend to stay still when you point a camera at them so you did a fine job of catching the other details so well, especially as they are black and not so easy to deal with.

Thank you for the kind comments on my photo. Boo, my kitty's name, is very photogenic and is mesmerized by the flash each time it goes off. Roland looks very close to Boo. ;) Keep up the great work and thanks again for your comment.

I saw it and liked it. Upon first glance I thought it was mine. I had a photo of this cat hijacked with an eye color change last week so at first i thought it was happening again.

A very nice shot Jan. I too looked at both 'cat eyes' images and do notice a clearer, better focused, and better color in this revised shot.
Well done.
Best wishes,
Michele~

Annemette-- Thanks for viewing and commenting. Any you are so correct; started the same way and now am looking at learning to post process.
As for Danish, no such luck. I am peasant stock of various Eastern European extractions. My parents spoke so many different languages that I am surprised they gave me a name that I can pronounce.

Wonderful hypnotizing catportrait. I like it so close-up. About editing I can tell you that when I began posting photos at UF six months ago or so, I only uploaded raw unedited photos because I felt that editing the photo afterwards was "cheating". Now I´ve fallen in love with all the wide range of possibilities, and I imagine you´ll go through the same proces:-)
Best wishes,
Annemette
PS: I thought that you were Danish when seing you name.

Nice crop Jan,
details are really good,
it's somehow an old style photo, two Bright eyes in the middle of a dark texture which I like,
the flash light in the pupils makes it a little distracting but still really nice shot,
