Thanks bvy. I was playing around with HDR for this one. Haven't quite gotten the hang of that yet though, so just used the contrasty version instead.

Thanks! Actually I was taking the shot with BW in Color but changed to Pet Portrait at the last minute. Had plans for another shot that I didn't get a chance to shoot for BW in Color. :)

Nice pose, the eyes are good and clear. He's so black that he just fades away into the background!

Simple but effective. I like the stark treatment of this.

Very simple. very nice. It does look a bit over sharpened and over saturated though.

I hate it when that happens. I think the contrast/sharpening is just a bit much on this one.
