Ok. Unusual (and nice) coloring.

I think a cooler light would have brought out the red in the lips and teh makeup in the eyes... it may have possibly created a more natural skin tone.

macrothing - Thank you for your comment, I always appreciate them, especially when they help me with photography. His eyes are a lot like that, I just saturated them slightly, the minty green is all his :)

I blurred the background to make it stand out less, but I didn't want to move him from his chair, so I just left it like that.

I have attachments to him, and view this pretty much as a cute snapshot that my family will like. Usually I try not to take comments personally since they reflect the photograph and not me as a person.

Thank you for your honesty and all your help. And it makes a lot of sense.

Nice shot to capture the eye. Is this the natural color? (will check back later to see if you include in your comments). Perhaps a tighter and more 'refined' crop may have helped accentuate the eye even more. Don't mind the selective desaturation, especially with the tabby markings working quite well in b&w, however the 'objects' in the background detract slightly, in my opinion. edit:removed 'TN'

This is a perfect example why a wide lens is normally not used in portrait photography, it makes the things closest to the camera seem much bigger than the rest and isn´t flattering to most subjects. Try backing off next time and using a longer lens and I´ll bet you´ll like the results much better...

Very flat lighting makes the face almost featureless. More contrast would be better.
