Theme 173.
Izzy cat showing her wild side. Those who've seen earlier photos of Izzy (or know her), will know that she is the daintiest, most princess-like girly cat around. She runs when new people come in the house (but not with me, she likes me, aww!). Anyway, last time I visited in May, I tried to get her yawning, but got nothing in photos. This time, when I was up for Will's birthday, I lucked out and on the only time I tried, caught her mid yawn. It was a hasty "camea to eye and click, hoping a focus point locks on her somewhere, never mind aiming for a particular one" - which explains why if anything's remotely in focus, it's her teeth. And why her left eye's half out of shot. If there was no time to lock a specific focus point on a particular spot, there was no time to really frame - I was just glad I was the minimum distance away from her, for my zoom lens to focus at all!
I wanted a special photo for number 200, and it was either going to be this one, or the one that will be "Shock" (since I've used the other good photos I had to get me to 200, or else they don't fit the themes - I have some good ones of Will but not many that fit a theme :( ).
ETA - forgot to say - I increased the contrast a bit, and then tried the autosharpen, which sharpened up the triangle between her eyes a smidgen.
