Quick Cat Portrait

Such a beautiful cat! Great choice of props too. The paint flecks on the chair really add to the interest of the whole. The lighting and depth of field are absolutely perfect.

My one nit-pick would be the saturation of the red. In the thumbnail the red thing on the collar glows, so when you open the photo that's the first thing you notice. After that I noticed that the kitty's nose looked like it had blood on it. Without blood dripping from the jowls, I don't think blood on the nose fits your intent, heh.

For DPC, I'd tone down the red on both the nose and the collar thing. For a home family photo I'd just tone down the red on the nose a tiny bit, since the thing on the collar is probably something the family associates with the kitty.

Interesting how I faved this and never commented....

I just love the interaction between the blues and the whites. The bridge gives just enough to break the ground and the sky. I like the IR shots quite a bit.

You could always use the clunky but very effective ring light (with a moderate number of bulbs) to reflect off the background for separation and provide a bit of a hair light. This is a great shot by the way - excellent expression captured.

I can see where you were going with this... broccoli has a great texture. I think placing the light source more to the side would have shown off the bumps more, giving the viewer more of a feel for the texture. As it is, we have to rely on our knowledge of how it feels. Great choice for the background too, to really make the texture part stand out.

YES, a Chia pet! And a bonus gift, you lucky fellow, you. (You know there's a Shrek version now, too, in case someone needs to add to your collection next year. I just thought I'd start your 2008 gift list, as a favor, of course, to a collector of such obviously refined taste.) Great composition and expression, BTW.
