Woefully underappreciated. I loved this during voting - you got an 8 from me. Pleased to see it brought up again in the TS thread, too.

This is so cute and pretty and has that lovely innocent childhood fun look to it. It's a lovely shot about the best things of childhood.

Another very nice B&W. You could teach a class in when to use B&W!

Another one going in my faves. This could be/should be a poster! Once again, you demonstrate your eye for composition and the use of B&W to emphasize shapes and tones.

Another beautiful composition. You've really got quite the eye for the interesting when it comes to shapes.

I love this. Into my faves it goes! This reminds me of various paintings, where the point is the overall scene, not the details.

Interesting to compare the two. This version is more about light and shadow, with the shapes taking some time to resolve into a cat. I like it, but I like the color one better because it strike me more as an abstraction of a cat, without sharpness to confuse the mind into thinking the details matter.

Ok, first, I understand why DPC gave it a 4.6, starting with many people probably defining "portrait" to mean "staged, with the pet sitting in a perfect position in front of a perfect background."

Feh! I say. The instant I opened it her eyes grabbed me and they never let go. Yeah, the bright pink is a bit distracting, but I think this is a powerful example of cats' power in general and hers specifically.

I like this, Karen. The lack of sharp focus makes it more about shapes and emotions than the specifics of the actual subject. It just has a nice, graphic feel to it.
