In Your Face

...

The reason I like this is...he is in my face! That was my first thought. This works because of the tight crop! Love it..

Very very very beautiful photo. Not just the look, but also the mouth position, they are both fantastic!

Perfecto encuadre, magnifica luz, B/W. y bella composicion, un cordial saludo Howard.

That I call ORIGINAL,a look you remember,the cat looks intelligent.

I'm not usually a big fan of pet shots ... but this is GREAT! You've truly given this little one some very human characteristics. I love the slant to his eyes and the growl on his lips. Wonderful in B&W!!

Great expression, Howard. A lot of detail in the fur. This is one you could crop just above the nose (without the eye) and it would still work as the mouth is as expressive as the eye.

Great close up with incredible details. That eye is mesmerizing.

unique portrait!

Hey Howard, she stars right to my eye.... lol. Good crop.

A creative and eye catching crop with a good choice of B&W. Nicely done!

He (she?) really doesn't seem pleased with this photo being taken. The expression of the eye and the mouth give him a bit of a vicious look. You captured this expression very well. The b&w and crop add to the mood. Hope you didn't get hurt in the process of taking this photo!

Cat's eye! Very good cropping and tone,Howard.

So "up close and personal". Surprising the cat tolerated you! LOL!

Very original ....!

I like the composition & subject, but I can't help but think I want a deeper DOF. Almost tack sharp, especially the eye. I like the way the whiskers fan out at the bottom of the frame.

Superb B&W, I love feeling of closeness in it, maybe there should be a little more DOF and you could've taken the photo so that his/her face would be cut in half?

I once read that women most of the time are inclined to focus on the eyes of the animal, men don't. IMHO It's proven here once again. :)

I think this is a wonderful photo, very strong because of the B&W. I love it.

Best regards,

Marga

 

btw, i recently added a couple of B&W photos in my folio and i would very much appreciate your comment and suggestions.

I agree with Marga. I wish to see the eye more focused, but the photo is beautiful anyway.

 

May I invite You to see my cat-eye? http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=2929821&size=lg
