They're all nice, but number two is exceptional. What lens were you using?

#1 doesn't really work for me. It's great head shot, but the background totally ruins it. Shame.

#2 is super. It's got really narrow DOF, and it might look better with a bit more, but I appreciate that wide open at 400mm that was never really going to be on the cards. So a great job given the constraints.

#3 is a nice pose, but the colours look off to me. They're a bit dull. And is there a WB problem?

#4 starts with a huge advantage, obviously, since it's a cat, but I'm afraid the pose spoils it for me. It looks like he's trying to avert his eyes. If he'd been looking at you, or looking at something off in the distance, it would have bene a zillion times better.

Hope that helps.
