Amazing! I'm a bit puzzled by his eyes though, I sort of feel his pupils should be larger

Gorgeous creature and engaging stare, I do feel that this is too soft a portrait though. I think the softness should have got sharper towards the centre of his face/eyes.

This is mesmerizing to say the least. I love the pinhole pupils - which just make that stare more intense, yet the overall softness of the image gives that king of beasts an almost fairy tale appearance. I love the way the whiskers jump out, strong and bristly against the otherwise soft feel of it. Not at all expected. I like it very much. 8

stunning cat! the eyes are piercing, but the focus on them is not as sharp as the nose.

Love the processing on this exceptthe pupils of the eyes just don't look right which, as they are staring right at me, is rather disconcerting.

The nose is the sharpest part and the eyes look a bit dull by comparison.
Nice expression though.

I like the processing , except for the eyes. A Little "unreal" to me. 7
