What a gorgeous cat! Love the square crop, those big ears fill the frame!

Your outtake is good and a very nice portrait, but this has way more personality! 'Grats on a great score and a very good finish.

I wish it had a bit more body under the face as the crop looks to tight to me. Still an excellent job.

Hmm, Havana Brown? Delicious looking cat, beautiful eyes, nice lighting, excellent clarity.

I think a yellowish or orangish background would have really accented the coloring of animal.

I love the colour composition! The way you were able to capture the tilted head is nicely done too. I heard that in the "olden days" a photographer would bring a cat to the shooting place to observe their eyes... thus knowing more about the proper lighting etc.??! Interesting.

A very regal looking Egyption looking cat, lovely colour eyes that you have brough tout and the colour of the fur is outstanding, I would have liked to have seen maybe just a little more light on the right hand side. 9

What a gorgeous cat!! Just a wee bit cross-eyes, which is adorable with the oriental face. Might like a slightly more complementary background (not so dark, splotchy and purple-tinted). But very nice overall.

good focus with great detail, background is dark but doesn't take away from the subject

7 - Nice pose / look on Bantu's face. Nice lighting, shows the coat well. The overall balance/composition seems a little off though, not sure.. could be that Bantu is looking out of the frame. Wonder about a variation in background to bring out that coat and those eyes even more. edit:typo(!) (sows = shows)
