A very beautiful portrait of your cat. The eyes are very beautiful. I sense a very soft fur. The close up is very excellent, as the focus and sharpness. Very well done

Comment from Travlin1


This is very simply Deb a great shot. Filled with wonderful textures, detail and tonal quality. The eyes are great. Simply well done and enjoyable to view (and I'm not a cat lover too, lol). Scott

Great shot of NicNac, you can see the look of concentration on his face. Great focus and clarity. His beautiful orange eyes complete the picture. Did he get LeRoy?..very well done..BM

Comment from sharon drayton


awe your kitty is really beautiful you just want to take her and love her. Very nice photo. Detail is good. Composition is good. How did you do the eyes? Did you use a reflector or what? Let me know please. Sharon Drayton

    Hi Sharon, I forgot to add my techs to my post; have edited. No reflector, natural light from across the room, shot at 300mm. I find that in many situations a telephoto lens will present better results than working with macro---I seem to get a better balance of clarity that way. Natural lighting from high windows. Thank you so much for this super review and your time!
Comment from ducilla


Your new puppy is LeRoy von Duke.? What a name for a great Dane... The feline is looking so very hard at something ,that is sure. LeRoy be careful!.. Great focus and clarity. Composition ,Although simple,Is effective. The faint head tilt and the position of the camera are pleasing to view. Fine photo...ducilla

Comment from Janrique


Wow - this is a fabulous kitty shot. I am not a huge cat fan as such but I can appreciate a good shot when I see one, and this is so well exposed, focused and I like the tight crop. The detail and colours in the eyes are phenomenal. Excellent!

    You are welcome. I spend little time on here at the moment - busy with work (I am away from home at the moment with my 'day job') and other stuff so I only review something that really takes my eye and this one did!

Comment from tuckerkao


The close-up view looks excellent for the expressions of the cat passions. The light capturing is wonderful with the great clarity all around. The hairs feel quiet soft and clean.
