Description
Coming from a previous gallery image, I decided to do this one high key. Wanting only the "monolith" to celebrate in an as yet undone digital way the motion picture "Space Odyssey 2001", the cat joined when he decided to rest on the infinity curve and ...made the shot what it is. I personally like this remake. I was not sure where to post, which genre. This is not really "manipulation" in that all is original image, only edited. Enjoy. TomDart.

Fabulous image, very intriguing indeed. I'm drawn immediately to the eyes, then my vision expands outward. Awesome work!!!

love your cat expression and a treatment is high classy.
Exquist and intense look on the cat's face. Fabulous postwork.
Excellent wink to Space odyssey Tom ! Fantastic compo !
Oh Tom, absolutely FABULOUS! I adore his marvelous and curious glance.... genious my friend!
Very nicely done, Tom. The textures stand out wonderfully. I'm not sure I get the 2001 reference but I don't think I need to, to like this. Glad to see someone else experimenting with hi-key. ( PS I started with a very hi key shot to begin with, too...My face had very bright sunlight on it...which helps. ) . Thx for sharing and have a great weekend.-M :^)
Bennie is very beautiful, Tom. I like this work greatly. I do not understand how you do it... but I sure know I like it!! Hugs and God Bless. Diane.
It's quite cool the way only darker bits show up. Bennie is quite cute.
Very stylish black and white. Because of the lack of shadows, it looks a little minimalistic, and I like it. I found the original in your gallery, and I have to say your cat is very talented :P (Thanks for your comment... I'm sure you have a tender heart)
Very classy shot. She looks like a runway model. Simple yet powerful. Aloha
Love the high contrast! Well done!! Great concept.5+++++
