7 - This is nice, but the 'sudden' change from the fur to the 'black', is a little odd on first glance. Like to have seen Smokey just a little more facing camera. Beautiful coat and eyes, like to have seen even more detail/texture there, especially at the point closest to the camera - which could be focal issues, not sure, as seems sharper on the far side of the face. As he/she is looking 'out' of frame, perhaps a more vertical crop/framing would have given this an edge.

Thank you, folks! I didn't think this would do so well because it is kind of quirky, so I appreciate the high votes and kind comments.
