Description
Continuing with the series on superstitions:Black cat - In ancient Egypt, the Goddess Bast was a black, female cat. Christians, wanting to rid society of all traces of other religions, convinced the ignorant that black cats were demons in disguise and should thus be destroyed. In the process, they also destroyed the kindly ladies who cared for the cats, believing them to be witches. Being demons, a black cat crossing your path would create a barrier of evil, cutting you off from God and blocking the entrance to heaven.
Model - Merlin

This is beautiful. The lighting is great and the way it hits the cats face it seems as if the cat is very emotional. It seems as if it is longing for someone or something. I also like how the discription tells a history of black cats and it made me appreciate the photo even more. I really liked that its in black and white. To me it brings out the color of the cat even more.
Im sorry if this critique isnt that great it is my first. This is a beautiful piece of art. Thank you for taking the time to read this e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b⦠" width="15" height="15" alt="

Oh Gosh! I have to say that I totally love cats, and especially black ones, so this Deviation has really catched my eye!
I'm sure that anyone would agree with me that the eye really stands out in this photo. It looks unbelievably hypnotizing, I have to say, and it has attracted my attention completely!
I have rated this Deviation's originality as four stars, because I've seen a couple of similar photos across the web, although other than that, it is original.
I am glad to say that the technique you used here, works well with the cat! Also, the black and white effect is really effective too. Even though the colours are dark, this photo still attracts the viewers attention, which is great!
I am looking forward to seeing more of your deviations like this!
Well done, a.deviantart.net/avatars/c/o/c⦠" alt=" " title="CookiiMostaa" />
