The title of this photo is “Fluffy Flower.” It is titled after the main subject, the stray cat Fluffy Flower. She used to have a counterpart who was simply named Flower, but he disappeared and is now presumed dead. This was taken on September 1, 2025, with my Canon camera in my backyard. I mainly made the photo warmer and brighter to bring out the orange in her fur. I then used dodge on her eyes to bring them out a lot, which is something I usually do. I love bringing out the eyes in the photos I take.

Hayden C’s photo Fluffy Flower is a warm and engaging portrait that captures both technical skill and emotional depth. The close framing keeps the viewer’s attention on the cat’s expressive eyes and soft orange fur, which are enhanced through effective editing choices such as warming the tones and using dodge to brighten the eyes. These adjustments successfully highlight the subject’s personality and make the image more vibrant. The background is somewhat distracting in spots, but overall it still allows the subject to remain the clear focus. What elevates the photo further is the story behind it, as the description of Fluffy Flower and her missing counterpart adds meaning and personal connection. Overall, this piece balances strong photographic technique with heartfelt storytelling, making it both visually appealing and emotionally powerful.
