I'm not usually one for animal portrait-ry (?), but THIS is interesting. The shiny bolt head in the upper right is distracting, but i actually like it.

Technically, the bolt is just a hindrance... but in this case, it reflects the interaction between you and your pet. Your image within the picture isn't expected, but it is a nice way to create your own keepsake, to remember this small friend for years to come. Great job.

Of course, if this isn't your pet, forget everything I just said!

Great expression! I like the hi-key effect with the partially desaturated look. Nice!

i like to come back and revisit this one often. :) first of all... the graniness rocks my world! 2nd... you possess so much strength yet at the same time seem vulnerable. 3rd... your eyes are piercing!! :) and to top it all of the title is fantastic. :)

Cheers, i agree with the centre image not quite fitting.
I was just playing around with the tripech idea.

I'd just like to point out, Polly is not my daughter, shes a friends daughter, i shot a portait session of her, i'm only 20, no kids for me for at least another 80 years...yikes!
