I was playing around today while he was trying to catch a nap. I've always loved how a cats eye looks so I thought I would try and get in close. Thankfully he was still for the one second exposure. C&C is always appreciated!

Very cool, did you use your 100mm Macro?

Yep, the good 'ol 100mm. It's an awesome lens, I'm hoping to get a 1.4x TC and some tubes for it soon :)

Not superimposed at all. The only thing I did in PP was add a multiple layer to deepen the color of the eye, apply noise reduction, and sharpen after resize. Did you guys think it was fake? I didn't even consider that people may consider it but that's how the picture came out :)
