A Tortoiseshell Portrait

As you can see the spirit of the tortoiseshell lives on in this lovely portrait. It is one of a series I created looking down the length of the wooden bannister on our deck.

I wanted to see if I could freshen up the portrait focusing on our lovely angel tortie Sienna. Many of you will remember our beautiful girl.

I love the original picture of the fierce cat looking ahead and striding forward. But, if I want to make an image more in portrait orientation what could I do?

Here are two different ideas to try. A change of orientation, and colour.

I have cropped the photograph and added a touch of a special effect called Mystical in Luminar Neo, with a boost of extra vibrancy. I then experimented with a black and white treatment.

You will have to tell me which you prefer?

The dramatic vibrant colour version?

Or, the simpler black and white?
