i've looked at this one of yours before but didnt comment coz i was feeling a bit low .. when i'm feeling that way i cant put across sufficiently well how i feel about a photograph .. i'm feeling fine right now so i can say quite easily ..... BRILLIANT .. !!!
love the eyes especially ..
you are a killer photographer .. amazing .. your work with children and animals is to die for .. i think someone in the movie industry said something along the lines 'never work with children and animals' .. he couldnt have been as talented as you .. i think it may'v been alfred hitchcock !!!!! .. of course his was a different medium .. i'm being very flattering i know .. but i admire your work so much ... :) ..
anyhoooo the eyes are amazing .. how you got that white dot in the middle is literally genius .. well at my level of expertise it seems that way !! .. those whiskers are wonderful .. smudge is an absolutely fantastic subject ..:)x
edit ... i spelt smudge's name wrong .. i had smidge !!

what a fantastic atmospheric photograph .. wonderful in b&w ...
i'm looking at your processing and i cant see where you've done the b&w conversion .. did you do it in your RAW program? ..
when we first started the last b&w side challenge in march i was converting to b&w in my RAW program ... then i got comments from a couple of ppl (ppl who do really excellent work by the way), who suggested that i do the conversion to b&w in photoshop rather than my RAW program ... if your background layer is colour in photoshop you can get so much more variation in tones and everything when you convert it b&w ... i use an adjustment layer in selective colour a lot now after converting to b&w (you can do amazing things with the individual colours that you wouldnt'v been able to do if it was already b&w) but to have any effect it has to be underneath the b&w adjustment layer (i have CS3 and my b&w conversion is an adjustment layer too) ... have a go .. and let me know wot you reckon .. :)

dont be down on yourself .. i reckon we've got the best in the world in dpc .. comparisons make no sense at all except of course to help us improve .. i really like this portrait coz its very real .. i agree about the composition, but you must be sick of hearing it now .. your daughter makes a beautiful, fresh and lovely subject ... i'll be hoping to see more photographs of her, altho if she's anything like my daughter she's totally sick of having me in her face with a camera .. she says its like i have it growing out'v my face .. !! ... :)
