outstanding stuff - rich in tones and such delicate textures that we can almost reach out and touch

I love the lighting here and the shadows on the wall! The wire ball 'sculpture' shines with a nice glow that shows off the curves and lines of the inner and outer structure. Not only are the curves and lines of the wire ball interesting and well lit but the curves and lines of the shadows on the wall also capture the eye's attention. This is a nifty abstract! I also want to add that your B&W tones are wonderfully dynamic in this composition.

He truly is fully relaxed and comfortable - with the single simple decorative ornament hanging on the tree in the backdrop it communicates to me that if one keeps the holiday nice & simple and relaxed one would enjoy the simple pleasure in life rather than have the chaotic whirlwind that mostly happens this time of year. This is the story that this photo communicates to me:-) Love those dynamic tonal ranges you have here as well. Wonderful details can be seen in this beautifully captured and composed B & W pet portrait.

She looks a little concerned. Looks like mom just rushed out of the picture on the left, which may explain her expression.

Wonderful DOF - I like your chosen composition and spot of focus. Presents a thoughtful portrait with a nice kick from the background.
