CATURDAY ART ~ WINDOW WHISKERS

The original photo, above, was quite dramatic on its own with detail, sharpness and lighting.

For Caturday Art "One", below, we simply did a tight crop, 

used the smart sharpen tool to further enhance June's whiskers 

and the edges of her fur.

Also the background angles were slightly "straightened" as I tend to be bothered

when objects in the background appear off-kilter, 

and my attention is drawn there, rather than to the subject.  

The background was softened and

cleaned up with the blurring tool.  All tools from Adobe Creative Cloud.

Thinking it would be fun to go a little bit further, 

this same image became Caturday Art "Two", below.  

Now with an overall sepia filter and a tighter crop.

Then the outer image was blocked out as a solid sepia frame, "cut" into sections

with hairline rules and each section was applied with a different percentage

of tone (lighter) to alter the frame.

Whether this version came out better ~ or worse ~ or just different,

well, it's said that's in the eye of the beholder!
