The cat eyes and face are the best I have ever seen! Won't be long before people start coming from other states to have you mount cats for them.

Is the mount removable from the base for easy transport? I like the walnut too.

That isn't taxidery work. That is a living breathing cat that was photographed and photo shopped onto something that looks like a mount.........
Really......I'm not kidding..........that thing looks so real it is scary!

I have mounted 3 elk the past 2 weeks but none are yours, your cape is still at the tannery ....

That is awesome work. Probably the best cat I can recall seeing. Im no expert, but I know cats are tough to get right, and you got that one dead nuts IMHO.

Hey, I want to derail the topic with the same question. How's my elk coming along? :)Thanks everyone, I sould be finishing up my 3rd cougar here shortly too so keep your eyes out for the post!:tup: you worked on any elk lately :dunno: ;)

I can't believe you are a rookie with cougars. That's one of the most alive-looking taxidermy jobs I've ever seen. Nice work!

That my friend is nothing short of awesome. :tup: That is why I have no problem waiting, truly a great mount.

That work is AMAZING! Why does it look photoshopped on the side views? :dunno: The cat just seems to pop out of the background or something I am not accusing you of this, just wondering why it looks like that.
Ummmm, your talking aabout the blurry background ??? Thats what you get when you use a high quality camera . I forget the term but if you look at some good quality photography the background will usually be blurred that is because the camera is focused on the animal and the rest behind and in from will blur. It also depends on settings on the camera. Im not a technical guy but a Huntnphool or Bone could explain it better. 100% not photo shopped only thing I know how to do is resize the pics :chuckle:
Thanks for the compliments everyone!

"brokeh" ;)
I could say the word but had no idea how to spell it LOL. Its actually " Bokeh" Basically its the blurrinf of the photo wich is not in focus causig the image to "stand out"
Post by: Bean Counter on September 18, 2012, 01:19:59 PM
I think it depends on a quality lens more than the camera. Namely, a low f-stop (1.4, 1.8 etc). Get as close to the subject as you can. Staging your background further away will help, when possible.
