Usually my human takes her photos of me into Photoshop, crops them, makes minor (sometimes major) color adjustments, removes distracting background elements and fur on the rug, reduces the noise if it’s too grainy, and sharpens the photo a touch (or a lot) before she deems it worthy of uploading to my blog. But sometimes she gets it right the first time. This photo is pretty much the way it came out of the camera, with just a smidgen of sharpening — no cropping or color or contrast adjustment.
I did not have to work very hard on my pose either!

You look maaaarvelous! SOOC! I am impressed!
Hi Sparkle,
Your human is getting better in photography. But Ultimately it is the model that makes the photo.
perfect silhouette! 🙂 love it.
That is a lovely picture! How elegant and thoughtful you look.
Why fuss with purrfection!!!
that photo is exquisite….that is definite contest material should one arise!
Sparkle, that is a gorgeous photo of you! There is no improving on purrfection!
This photo of you is simply stunning! We agree, no editing needed!!
That is a gorgeous picture, Sparkle!
It is a beautiful pic of a lovely ladycat!
Beautiful, Sparkle!!
Great colors! Love your tail, so fluffy 🙂
Yes, for kitties this is a most natural pose.. you always seem to know your best side.
Mine is here.
Wow, your human really puts a lot of work into each photo – now I’m totally ashamed of what I post! Thank you again for your comments regarding my dad. All of the comments were really comforting during a totally crappy week. I hope you have a great weekend!

Beautiful photo, Sparkle!
Stunning!!!
You look very pretty, it’s a great photo.
That photo is so very artsy and mysterious! Kudos! Sometimes we luck out with that PURRfect shot which needs no adjustment.
By the way, I saw you comment on another blog that you only weigh around 6 lbs.! That is even smaller than my Domino! You have a big PURRsonality and PURResence, so I thought you were a bigger kitty. I can only imagine what you would look like standing beside my Dante who weighs in at 21 lbs.!
Next to Dante, I would probably look like a toy kitty! BTW, humans who have met me in person after just seeing me on my blog always say they thought I would be bigger.
Sparkle, just when I thought your beauty couldn’t be improved upon! My oh my!
Beautiful photo!

We bet you human is mighty pleased with herself. We want to know why she doesn’t get it right every time?
You and me both!
What a great shot of you Sparkle! My Mommy would love to paint that one!
Nellie
It is a gorgeous shot.
Gorgeous. It could be your next book cover. Or maybe a book cover for a book of odes to you, Sparkle.
With great beauty like yours, Sparkle, a gorgeous picture is always assured, but I think your human has outdone herself..this one is stunning! Perhaps you should reward her with a nuzzle…:)

It looks like a nice play to be sitting too. I like it.
Yep, this picture is pretty much purrfect – just like you, Sparkle! 🙂 Kudos to you and your human!
That’s a great shot, Sparkle. Perfect for today’s theme. (which Mom still swears was “mostly black”…)
Furry nice, Sparkle! The human bean does a little photo editing too, but she can only dream about Photoshop! 🙂
this one is really a good shot! you look so beautiful! happy weekend!
Now that is a beautiful photo. I love it
Oh wow. Sparkle, that is a fabulous picture of you. You look very mysterious.
P.S. With your standards, we hope you don’t see the pictures we uploaded to our blog today. Most aren’t even in focus 😛
Beautiful photo… just beautiful!!!
pawhugs, Max
That is a great picture of you Sparkle – your mom is very clever.
luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
Stunning!!

Your mom does a fabulous job as your pictures are always so purrfect!
That is a cool photo of you, Sparkle. Mom has Photoshop Elements, but she really isn’t any good at editing photos other than cropping.
Our Mom is trying her best to learn all that stuff about fixing the photos. That silhouette picture is great. Good job Sparkle. Hope all of you have a super Saturday.
wow! you should indeed be proud of this shot..just lovely!..i love your cat..
mine is up here too:

I just know I would look better if my staff woman would learn all that stuff. You are gorgeous, Sparkle!
It turned out exceptionally well!
Silhouettes
You don’t need any “touching” up because you look great 🙂
Lovely profile 🙂
Wat a gorgeous photo! *swoons*
That is a beautiful picture.. Hugs GJ xx
A delightful image. One which you will be proud to show to your grand-kits.
Well, good luck to me on that, considering I’ve been spayed, MOL!
Sparkle,
I do like your photo a lot ! Look feline and feminine. And the Silhouette is just superb !!!!
Sound like you mom is a professional in Photoshop ! She done a lot of jobs !!!
Amazing woman : )
My mom use Photoshop too but not a lot. Just adjust the color and put her signature. Except the photo is too dark too see, That’s going to be make over the lighting. That’s all she does.
