    Default Ziglet models a yellow hat cuz we made him do it

    This is my antisocial and picture hating cat Ziglet.
    I'd be curious to know what people think of this one on any level but particularly the colour contrast on your monitors.

    many thx!

    I think forcing cats to look stupid is rather cruel... They are far to superior to be mocked...

    He has amazing eyes... The yellow is a little overblown here but that's because my monitors are fairly light (Mac's have a gamma of 1.8 in general so appear lighter than Windows PC's in general).

    But looks good here. Does he look a little like you... ?

    I agree; the yellow is just a bit bright, esp. on the ties under the chin. The hue/saturation looks bang on on my colour-corrected Windoze system, but I have to say, I think you missed it on the eyes. The catchlights are over-strong and are blocking out the pupils, leaving him looking, to me, like he's got glass eyes.

    Okay, the scarf for me is more of a peachy colour ... Agree with TI about the eyes.

    Thanks everyone, I'm having a bit of recent trouble shooting his eyes because they are starting to get cloudy,(He's 16) you might be right that I was slightly off though. I'll have to check the original raw file.

    Oh I disagree big time with that one. Forcing them to wear a silly hat is the least that bum could do to pay us back.

    Superior eh....hmm not so sure. He IS a superior sleeper tho.

    lol - this is cute! the beautiful blue eyes sure stand out to me, although i agree with TI that the pupils being missing are a bit of a distraction... the yellow looks yellow, no peach on my screen- a bit over blown though. and the white rug he is sitting on doesnt look too white - do i see some smudging on the lefthand side?

    That's exactly what I see. Umm..never did a caliber on the screen yet though.

    How long did the cat wear it for? LOL..I can't even get my kids to wear a hat for over 30 seconds!!!
