Loved this photo when you first posted it and feel the same about the second posting. Perchance, did you enhance the image this time around to make the sweet Siamese cat face markings more noticeable?

Siamese cat owner: I always have a challenge to match the online visuals with the darkroom print that I am scanning and trying to reproduce. I want the online image to be as good as it can be, but there is very little that I do in the way of manipulation other than sometimes minor tweaking of light and dark, brightness, contrast, and highlights—I’m sort of a fuss-pot about my photos.
In this case, where I was scanning a very good darkroom print, minor changes were made. I did some cropping of a table in the composition. I think my photos also look differently depending on how an individual computer and/or scanner renders the image. Apple’s retina vision, for example, will produce a sharper and clearer image than some other computers. I think sometimes it depends on my mood.
Thank you for bringing up this subject and for giving the photo a good review. I suspect most people don’t even notice these variations. Paul
