Decisions, decisions...

Picked up some pocket wizzards and chased one of the cats around. I am new to off camera flash. What the heck.

#1 or #2 are my favs...

I have to stick with what I have. I promised Mr. Perfect that I would not chase him around for at least another week or two... He is a 7 year old, Seal-point, mitted Ragdoll. We send our THANKS!!

    #6 is my choice. I like that you can see just the tip of his tongue. Also, not so much of a harsh shadow that #2 has.
    #3 has better lighting, but i like the composition of #6 better.

    My favorites are 3, 1, and 5 - in that order. (#6 would bump #1 except for whatever is seen at the top right of the frame...)

    Beautiful cat!

    I like #3 for its good straight on pose and lighting but I like #5 because you captured something mischievous or humorous in the eyes and crossed paws. GP

    I'm going to have to say #2, though I wish the lighting was a little softer. I really like the pose in #6, but the claw-post being fully in frame is a little distracting because I'm looking at the kitty's shadow on the wall to the left. As for the rest, the horizontal blinds are throwing me off.

    #3 is my fave, such awesome blue eyes, and a hint of attitude in the facial expression!

    Both your cats are beautiful - I like the third shot of Spooky - the close-up shows off her huge pretty eyes. And black cats are REALLY HARD to photograph, as I am just learning. My camera will NOT autofocus on my black kitty! [need an aaaaargh smiley here!] :)

    I love Mr. Perfect's blue eyes & pretty white paws against the dark black fur on her legs. I really like the poses in #2 & #5 but wish #2 was landscape - not liking the dead space above the pretty kitty, & it would've been nice if Mr. Perfect would've looked into the camera in #5. I really like the way the blue in the blanket brings out the depth of the blue eyes.

    I like 2, then 3. I also like the face of the cat in 5, but the blinds are distracting
