    I really want to like this one Cristobal, because I love cats, and those yellow eyes are magical, but.... I got nits;
    The loss of detail in the dark areas seems too pronounced and what remains is hard to recognize - the chroma noise in the specular highlights doesn't appeal to me.
    The partially closed eye isn't ideal and the angle could be a bit lower.
    Sorry, but I figured you'd want an honest reaction, fwiw.

    The good news is, my cats gave it 2 paws up! :-)

    Thanks Eric, that's exactly the kind of feedback I'm looking for. I agree with the angle comment and kind of got stuck in pp. Maybe I just want to get something out of nothing, it happens. Great comment!

    Just gotta say, I appreciate reading Eric's comments and the willingness to make direct comments with the intent to provide meaningful feedback. It's a fine line in a forum like dgrin. And, Cristobal... it's refreshing to see your response here embracing the critique. We could use more of this kind of commenting. Kudos to you both!

    Sorry Richard, it was unintentional. I moved within my site and the link broke I guess. Here it goes again

    OK, I see it now. I love the idea, but I'm afraid Eric nailed it. Really close, but ultimately flawed. Hopefully you'll get another chance. thumb.gif
