    fantastic shot, I love the texture and color of the cat and the nice DOF.....perhaps the snow is a bit blown out in the bottom left? I dunno how to fix it though. :uhoh

    For those of you who have been reading my rants on eyes...that's what makes this image. it's the eyes. it's all about the eyes. and ribs. ribs and garlic mashed potatoes. with fresh hot sourdough bread. and beans, can't forget the ranch beans.

    I think you got this one in the eyes. Good focus on the eyes. Nice background
    too. About the only change I'd make would be to the lower left of the picture.

    Nice work!

    I agree, it's a little too white down in the bottom left...and you know what they say ''eyes are the window to the soul...''

    Wow
    WINDOZE,
    I love the big cats and this is one of the best headshots I've seen in a while!
    I too, am drawn to the eyes(good focus). Great job!

    Hey, if you clean up that corner thing, you'll be able to send it over to DG's sister site (Kodak) for display as a KPOTD! it's a shooooo in!

    Keep thegood stuff coming.....

    Wowzers, what a beautiful cat! I as well get sucked into those eyes. I agree that the snow may be blown out a bit...but I think I like it better than the edited version. Maybe if you just toned the snow down a bit but didn't take it completely away? The neutral background around his chin/chest doesn't cut it for me (but that just MY opinion).

    Great work!
