I was sitting on the sofa at my mother-in-law's house when Nikki (the cat) got on the coffee table in front of me. Even though the lighting wasn't that great, I took a few pictures of her. When I opened the pictures on my computer, I saw that the quality of the pictures was pretty bad but I felt like I just had to capture the look on her face.
After cutting out the background and experimenting with various filters and backdrops, I finally got the look I was after. I really like those eyes!
