What a depressing title! It really changes the viewing experience. Perfect focus on the eye. I wish the DOF was just a bit broader so that more of his fur was in focus.
I tried shooting one of these guys this weekend and gained a whole new appreciation for how difficuly it really is, you've done it well, great expression, perfect PP, love it and here to bump you up
Wow. Great detail in the eye and forehead. I can understand wanting to isolate the eye(s), but I think you went too far in obliterating everything else in post. JMO of course. Good luck.
