This was taken of my tortoise shell cat, Molli. Just as I moved in for the closeup, she caught a glimpse of another cat nearby, which caused her to hiss. Fortunately for me, it made for a great expressive shot. I only made slight adjustments to the color level and contrast, and added unsharp mask.

What a ferocious looking cat. Love the great composition you were able to capture. The shadows and reflections of the fur really helps make this image pop out of the shot. The reflections and details in the eyes really give you a sense of ferociousness.

The crop is just a little too close for my taste here, and it looks oversharpened. There are some burnt out highlights in the eyes, and I don't like the shadow cast behind the cat.
Other than that, I think this is fabulous! Great character and expression captured in this shot, I'm not sure I'd have wanted to be this near a cat baring it's fangs. 7

I would like the whiskers to be in focus too, but you can't always win with macro. Great colours.

Very nice macro, for me, a little less sharp would be better.

I would have like to see it without the cats mouth being cut off at the bottom, would have had a much more dramatic effect.
