 ...and I'll rip your throat out.

This is Tycho, one of my two 10-year old sisters who are indoor cats only. She and her sister both HATE the camera now, so I don't get many photo ops and when I do they look grumpy. Kinda like this

Processing:
CEP Tonal Contrast
CEP Darken/Lighten center to create vignette, run several times to really darken the corners
Channel Mixer to convert to B&W
Soft light layer painted with white to dodge
Soft light layer painted with black to burn
my kaleidoscope overlay below in overlay mode

Amazing they ever put up with us, isn't it? They must think we're very dense not to get "go away" the first thousand times ;-)
