Cats in sink - Critique welcomed

Not very original, I know, but I love photographing my cats in the sink. These are three of my favorites. Thoughts?

I prefer the first one. An angle a little more from the other side of the sink would be nice but probably not possible. When photographing with a shallow depth of field be sure to focus on the eyes. The gray and black cat with the green eyes is beautiful. Jeff

I love #1 very cute!

#2 I dont like that flash

#3 I agree with Jeff! beautiful eyes (and nice sink too lol I got the same one!LMAO)


just curious....what lens and settings did you use?

I hate cats, but that is just adorable. I have to agree with lmola, the flash is a little too direct in #2, and could stand to be softer. Good series though. Make yourself a calender.
