The Whiskers Have It

I was sitting on the ground taking some close-up shots when Odin went past me and proceeded to pose. The distortions from the strange angle is the position of the eye on the head - it looks quite a bit higher than it really is, and the length of his neck - which is longer in real life..Yet, that is exactly what your eye really sees looking up at that angle. The late afternoon sunlight made his color really stand out against the blue sky.
