Great capture. So hard to get any animal to cooperate. Great light, great depth of field just a great shot and very well done.

Aww cute! I am sure this will be a family favorite for lots of years. Based upon some noise issues I am going to guess this is cropped in quite a bit from a larger shot really show off the eyes. That paired with the fact that the eyes aren't looking at the camera probably won't grab a high score, but points aren't as important as family memories, and I think you captured a great one.

Aww what a cute look! Priceless memories of a family member. :) Great job on the focus and a great timing capture. The flash is a bit harsh, but the most important part is capturing that moment, and you captured the moment indeed :)

I like the shot. Love the coloring. I am sure it will be disqualified for the text in the bottom left, but great color and a great idea with the matching color on the top lid.

why so?

Aww, cute kitty. I think that the cat doesn't seem to have wanted to work with you very well as he or she is loving whatever is below you and your lens. :-) Still a shot I am sure you will love for years to come.

Nice shot. Great use of the magnifying glass, and the lighting on the eye is fantastic.

Very nice job on this. The moodiness of the lighting really works for me. The depth of field is fantastic and I love the choice of background. The bricks give it a street shot type of feel that just would never work as well with the moodiness of the look, the lighting, and the eyes if it were shot in a studio. Focus is right on the money as are the catch lights in both eyes. Fantastic shot.

You have to love cat eyes. :-) Very nice capture. I like the framing as well. I will say that it takes a second to get oriented to the cat's positioning and that can be a bit distracting, but the color and use of what appears to be natural light in a moving animal that never seems to want to cooperate is just plain excellent. Well done.

Wow, I bet this took lots of frames. I can't even imagine the set up and trial and error. So congrats there for sure. Not sure what the black stuff is on the bottom eyelid, but I have itched my eye now at least 4 or 5 time while writing this comment. :-) The only real thing I have as a concern is that the refection that is so key in drawing in the viewer also is a bit busy for my eye and I get lost in it and lose the beauty of the actual eye (because it is a very pretty eye). Great shot.

Haha :) Ok, instant pop factor with a nice tight shot like this, so great job there. Also a great job of setting the glasses just right to avoid tons of flash reflection. With a shot this close it is really difficult to keep from blowing things out all over the place and you did a great job keeping that under control. I also really like the choice on depth of field as you can see the pink just start to fade away giving a very pleasing texture to the image. I do think that the hair cutting into the eyes hurts the shot from a challenge point of view, but this picture is worth much more than that. Great shot that I am sure you will enjoy for years.
