the lighting with flash doesen't look good at all, I don't think the fur is a good background although you probably used it for the confort ideea but faied: it doesen't say confort at all to me, maybe if he had been sleeping it would have been better? the face that is the main and only point of atraction in the image is too dark, I can barely see the eyes; composition is boring and the crop too loose (too much uninteresting pinkish fur around the subject)
Awwwwwwww. . . .that gives me comfort just looking at him. He is SO CUTE! And where's a Pet Portrait challenge when you need one? But he's doing fine in my book in the Comfort challenge :)
