My cat Melody is the star this week of Mandarin Orange Monday...at least my part of MoM. I wonder what stars you have in store?
I used to photograph her often when she was younger and Melody has regularly featured in my art and jewellery making over the years. She was such a tiny little kitten, she used to sit on my shoulder like a bird. Now she is far to big to do that, but she does enjoy sitting on a warm lap at night.
The first group of photos are only slightly edited. I have sharpened them and adjusted tones and saturation.
The following images are the results of playing with Photoshop. I used Poster Edges filter for all of them, but added a second filter to each one.
 |
| Poster Edges and Dark Strokes Filter. Increased Saturation (Red Boost). |
 |
| Poster Edges and Film Grain Filters. |
 |
| Poster Edges Filter and HDR |

An orange in the cat makes it look orange.
So cute! like her red nose ...
Nice posters and especially the one with "Poster Edges Filter and HDR"
Have a great day!
Ah, what a gorgeous cat! As usual, I love how creatively you do your editing!
Perfectly delightful orange tabby! xox

Such a cutie!
what a beautiful cat ;.)

Oh Lori, she's the cutest thing! I just adore cats. My sister has a male orange tabby named Asparagus. He even has orange eyes! I love what you've done with the filters. I particularly love poster edges.
What a pretty kitty... even her natural orange coat is gorgeous! Thank you for sharing on Weekly Top Shot #55!
Beautiful pix of a gorgeous orange cat. I grew up with orange cats.
Melody is very pretty! I love that she used to sit on your shoulder. My one year old, Arya, likes to lay across my chest. I'm wondering when she will get too big to do it. It probably won't be long. ;O)
I love that cat... a real beauty!! I must remember to come back when I have something orange to share.
Wonderful pictures!
Melody is so pretty.:p
love the photos.
I had the urge to call Melody "Marmalade", she is a delicious shade of orange!
Thanks for hosting.
Cute kitty!
Mine's here.
Delicious photos. Yes, I love that orange cat. When I was little I had one like that. Greetings.
pretty cat! my first time here.. :)
Lovely beautiful cat and interesting editions!
I had two red tigercats. The male cat had brown eyes.
Beautiful cat, indeed a star! Being a newbie to photography, would I sharpen and saturate towards the end of photo editing for best results, or it doesn't matter?
Very fun, what you've done with Melody in photoshop! She's a beauty.
I had a cat who looked like that one, her name was Beatrice.

I love Melady ... I have two orange tabbies in my family and they are truly photogenic. And, If my intuition is right, I am thinking that having and "Orange" cat had a lot to do with your starting the Mandarin Orange Monday Meme ... now that is a wonderful thing. So, you should have a wonderful week ...

Oh, how I love the color orange. As you probably know from visiting my blog.
I was pleasantly surprised to find the link up at the bottom. Thank you!
I love your photographs of Melody and the photoshop editing.
Your oranges at the beginning look delicious! Thank you for making my Monday so bright with color.
Love your cat photos! Thanks for visiting me and telling me about Mandarin Orange Monday! I'm participating this week. Cheers! Helen
Your cat Melody has such a beautiful fur - the color is warm and your editing makes it even more orange in a cool, poster-like way! It must be so cozy having her resting beside you in the evenings :-)
Your cat is cute! I especially love the last one you shared.

The final result id fantastic! I love it!
So much beautiful orange here today! Your cat is awesome. I want to hold it. Wow!!!
just marvelous.......
Calling by from NF Inspiring Photography, what a handsome cat.
Melody is a very good subject for your art :)
I will probably get a lot of sand shots suitable for your meme in Morocco. I´m looking forward to that. :)
Thanks everyone for your comments about the photo art and Melody...and thank you from Melody :)
Melody is very pretty..and apparently being ginger and a female is unusual...but then she does have white as well which makes a big difference.
Quite a few of you had/have ginger cats too!
My first cat was ginger - and he found me... just plonked himself at my place when I was a student.
LadyD Piano... I usually sharpen and saturate at the end...it is so easy to get carried away and oversaturate and sharpen too much. It would be interesting to hear what others do too.
Thank you again, to those visiting for the first time and to those of you we have already met:)
What a lovely cat! I would love to embrace it :) and pretty color too.
What an adorable star of the show! Your photographs are amazing!
