Very nice portrait Barb. I like the intent stare. It looks like it could you a tad more USM and perhaps a bit less contrast-this might help the 'hot' area on the mouth. Great pose and I'll bet you had fun watching the cats play. Happy Holidays and thanks for sharing.

Love this one Barb. The look on it's face is so sweet. The eyes are amazing.
