Ok, I was trying to figure out the selective color effect on my Nikon D5100 … and I failed. My objective was to select just the eyes because they resemble the tigers eye gemstone.
Anywho, I decided I liked this black and white close-up enough to share.
I domesticated this gray tiger just before last winner set in. It was just a kitten when it was abandoned by its owner or feral mother, not sure which.

The photo is outstanding in any case… beautiful
Wow, Bulldog, thanks!
What a beautiful cat. It was very kind of you to adopt it.
She is pretty, thank you. I will have to post her in color at a later date. I would adopt more if I had the space and the means. As of now, we have three cats and two dogs. Number 2 cat I rescued from the flood here in 2008 and our Lola girl pit bull we rescued from very cruel people 😦
