Big Cats can sometimes be spotted in the wild. While they might have similarities to your Household Kitten, these are an entire different species!! Beware these are not TOY cats. Be careful when approaching. Luckily we can sometimes see them in a safer environment But even on the Catwalk, the Queen of Cats, can devour you in a snap.

Once again a pleasure to work with this great team. Also thanks to Gloria to take over for me when necessary. It took 7 to tango! What a dance it was...what a dance!
Like this pose and the expression of Carol. She's great! I see that Gloria did a great job with the light! Make up as gorgeous as usual, Go Gillian! Can wait to see the rest. Nice job Patrick

Nice job PatrickPatrick Krolis: Thanks trustworthy assistant and photographer of your own! was indeed a very special shoot that Sunny Sunday
| Ginnie from Atlanta, GA, United States | 7 Apr 2008, 02:36 |
MEOW, Patrick! WOW. You ARE back. This is very Angelina Jolie-ish, if you ask me. I hope y'all take that as a compliment!
Patrick Krolis: Hey Ginnie, I guess you could not have made a greater compliment to the model, while she is Carol and has a style and personality of her own, I am sure she will appreciate the Angelna Joliness in your compliment
| Nikki | 7 Apr 2008, 03:49 |
beautiful picture,love the background!! carol is a hottie 
Patrick Krolis: Thank you so much Nikki, I am sure Carol loves your comment too
| VZ from Atlanta, Georgia, United States | 7 Apr 2008, 04:59 |
Yep. She's a tigress. Stricking contrast with a rusty thing. Works so well against her smooth skin.
Patrick Krolis: Thank you so much for the compliment Viktor!! I very much appreciate it, very much
| Nig from Gym | 7 Apr 2008, 08:03 |
I agree, I like the smooth skin contrasting with all the other stuff and the lighting. Looking at her right arm, it kinda looks dislocated.
Patrick Krolis: Nothing dislocated here Nig pure feline stuff

beautiful beautiful
love the lighting and pose
did you try the textbook composition of showing more on the side she's looking at

Patrick Krolis: Thank you soo much Doc!!!
Actually when shooting I already had it cropped NOT according to the text book, but when behind my laptop I even cropped more to the side she is not looking. And that happened for a reason. To my feeling going against the textbook here works well, because it adds to the imminent feeling she is not just staring at something far far away, but is ready to take on something we don't see, but apparently is happening near her. I guess it goes well with the story I wrote and the pose she took. As such it adds to the tension.
PS. Gosh even I don't understand it the way I wrote it, but I hope you do...

Cool shot Patrick - like the lighting on the model, especially against the grungy background. Glance off to the right works well too ;o)
Patrick Krolis: thank you Blackdog I couldn't agree with you more, I purposely had the glance to the right, actually even cropped it more when I looked at the photograph on the computer

Patrick Krolis: Carol did some very powerful posing here, I agree, you can see that both of you are from the same school baby
| chichi | 9 May 2008, 09:31 |
NIce. Did you do a selective color saturation here?
Patrick Krolis: nononono, I hate selective color saturations, , just lighting the right amount in front of the right background, and a little vignette in lightroom
