John, I just got back to look at your Calendar entry - I only wrote a brief comment because I found it hard to define my appreciation so here goes : your image displays an amazing balance on many levels ; the intimacy is intense without being pornographic ; the view is revealing without feeling voyeuristic ; there is an evenness in the eroticism ; the textures vary from smooth to shiny ; the lighting is soft and yet revealing - again, this photo has been amazing me in its balancing act - I wanted to add my comment not in response to some of the unwarranted low votes you got but rather because there are few photos that end up standing out irrespective of the challenge theme and this most certainly is one of them

cute kitten - the reflection of your light source is very visible in her eyes , additional softbox lighting from the left would bring out the face some more
