two cats - 二匹の猫

heheh so cute :D what curious little kitties!

猫！思わず反応してしまいました＾＾；
いつも素敵な写真、拝見させてもらってま～す。
何か狙ってるのかしら。。。この２匹。
めっちゃ何か見てるよね？

Great catch!! We can learn so much from a cat on the hunt...keep your eyes on the prize and don't get distracted!!

Nice contrast between cats and trunk.

really a great capture, you really can see the expressions of the cats..very nice!!

What cute little nekotachi! They look like mischievous little brothers, out to stir up trouble.

Thanks Maile Lani, Micki, Robert, Mb0 and Neil!!!
They gazed but I could not see what they gazed at...

らむママさん、ありがとうございます！！
何かを凝視しているのですが、何を凝視しているのかは分かりませんでした...。

I love it! I wonder what they were looking at. Fantastic capture.

Thanks Cat!!!

You really captured the perfekt moment on this one!
Look at them sweeties!

I wonder what they've spotted...
A bird maybe, or a mouse?

Great picture!!!

Thanks ChriZ and MoonSoleil!!!
Mmm. I could not see what they gazed...

lurking and seeking for a mouse, i guess. or maybe they've seen a beetle. in my eyes a picture with high tension.

Thanks ¥cd!!!

てつさん、お久しぶりです！
いや〜〜〜、猫かわいい！
そして立派な木！！！！
すごいすごい。どこにあるんだろう。
都内にこんなに太い立派な木があるんですか？！

おーともさん、ありがとうございます！！
そうですね。大きな木です。
鬼子母神の境内にありました。

i really like this picture! The subtle toning on the cats' bodies is technically pleasing, to say the least. Their positions in the frame are also a beauty to behold.

The only flaw, in my opinion, is the spots of light in the upper lefthand corner. They sort of distract my focus and disrupt the balance of the picture...

Thanks PlasticTV!!
Of course, I noticed the light in the left side. But cats never moved...

Fine felines! Great shot!

Thanks MMM!!!

I bet you timed this well, they look like they're about to spring into action. Well captured.

Thanks Phil!!

Awwwww lovely cats/kittens, very well captured.
GREAT GREAT GREAT SHOT!

Thanks Azhar!!

A great capture. Micki had it right about keeping the eye on the prize : same as you do with the camera, Tetsu!

When you process your black and whote shots do you use a gradient map in photoshop or just curves?

oh lala!
i like .. they are ready to attack!

caught in action , i love it..

Thanks AG, Jide and Tad!!!
I use neither a gradient map nor curves. I adjust an actual sensitivity of the film when I shoot. :-)

Very good timing capturing the cat. I love the contrast between tha cats and the background.

猫ちゃんたち兄弟でしょう？
そんなに大きくなってもいっしょにいられるって、いいね。

Oh... these beautiful holy creatures! Lovely "action" capture! :)

Thanks Chema and Minelmo!!

benさん、ありがとうございます！！
そうですね。一緒にいられると良いですね。

The comments probably already say it Tetsu but when it comes to the essence of a cat, yes, I think this is spot on. Great backdrop too. If they weren't such efficient killers, I'd say they look vulnerable against such a large tree.

Love the positions of the cats, their spots and do mind the lights in the upper-left.

Thanks Mooch and Dorothy!!

Great photo...
I love cats and I also like B&W photos... :D
Congratulations.

Thanks Technicx!!

Those cats look like they are up to something sneaky!

Thanks Colur!!

Lovely shot...I am assuming they are related looking at their markings. Beautiful capture. Phil

Thanks Phil!!

Well captured situation! They look like twins on a hunt :).

Thanks Nils!!
