This is the lady who caused all the trouble in Dave's wonderful intimate series a couple of weeks back. As you can see - she is a feisty feline!!

All comments and critiques always welcome and appreciated and thanks for looking.

Carol,
This is a very nice portrait. Her head tilt is perfect. I wish the ear wasn't clipped, but it is probably under the slide mount.

This is sweet. Lovely light and detail, perfect depth of field and exposure. I didnt even notice the ear until I read Chris' remark.. You get so used to seeing pictures of people on TV or in print media with the top of the head cropped off etc that I seem not not even see it when something is cropped out in close up work....Well done and thanks for posting here..

She's a beauty all right. You have captured her well. I think the student has out shot the tutor :)

BTW, why isn't this on our wall :?

An absolutely beautiful portrait. I would wish for the ear to not be clipped slightly.

What a sweet, endearing pose for this troublemaker. The clipped ear doesn't bother me as the intensity in her eyes grabs and holds my attention.

Awesome!!

Beautiful, feisty females- the bane of males through the animal kingdom! :?

Great shot. The deep furrows between the ears really do it for me. You did a great job with a tough exposure.

Gotta wonder why his nose is all cut up and she's scratchless. :roll:

How come I can hear the wife telling me something when I look at this great capture? :lol:

The expression is great and suggests that she is boss.

Carol, very nice shot! She certainly does look like she's plotting her next action in the soap opera

Thank you very much for all your kind comments everyone, much appreciated. I know the ear is clipped but it was a grab shot to get the expression and I had a second to choose between clipping the ear or chin - and I chose the ear!!

She's a beauty. Other than the slightly clipped ear I think this is just wonderful.
