Hope you like them. My fav is the one with Nesse(white cat) with the white background. Let me know which ones you like.

I like them all but the first one is my favorite.

Thanks for the reply. I do like the sharpness and the fact that Neo is looking somewhere that isn't visible to the viewer.

Here are two that I think look good in high contrast b/w conversion. What do you guys think?

I really like the first one. The sharpness between the hairs is amazing and the eyes are so bold. It looks like you're shooting with a 50mm f1.8 lens? I'd recommend closing down the aperature a bit, perhaps between 2.2 and 3. I don't like how shallow the depth of field is in the last picture. Right near his closed eye is in focus but it rapidly gets out of focus as you move to his ears. I think this would have been better if you had a larger portion of his face in focus (even out to both ears maybe).

Cat pictures are always great. Too bad you didn't use a faster shutter speed on the third one, though. That would have been a great picture if it was sharp.

Hey guys, thanks for the comments. I actually was using the kit lens, so my aperature range isn't as great as the 50mm f1.8 one. I would like to own that lens right now but a.) this is my parents' camera b.) Under my current budget I can't really afford to buy things that are not really necessary. The first lens I'll get though will be that one for sure, though I'm looking for the mk1.

wow.
First and last shots are amazing. Some of the best cat shots I've seen.

Thanks :)
For the last pic, which one works better for you, colour or b/w?
