Thanks Penny, I hadn't notice that one but the eyes are amazing.

Hey, this has come a long way since your first cat post Troy. This has the great detail and sharp focus I wasn't seeing so much in the first one. Well done.

Looks good Troy. I agree with everyone that the eye reflection is nice. There is also nice detail in the fur. I'm glad I could help, and I'm glad you didn't mind the help. - J.V.

Nevermind my comment on #3. This is the one. The eye has a nice reflection showing us what he is looking at while the shallower DOF reduces the distraction of the wall. This is a good one Troy. -COAmature

Thanks Lydia. I think this will be my last attempt on this particular subject. I will remove the other obvious bad attempts. J.V.'s been a great help and patient host. Thanks J.V.

Even better, Troy. That eye is fantastic! The backgound's brightness is a tad bit distracting... well, no... I like the blandness of it. I like this one. ~Lydia
