All stunning.

[TheMaggedy]

Thanks so much SABClick. Did you like one more than the others? I really had a hard time narrrowing down what shots to use of this kitty because her eyes are astonishing.

#3 FTW with #4 a very close second...

Really cute kitty!

Sorry - I can't decide. Every time I try, I keep changing my mind.

If you really push me, I'd say #1 because it's got that National Geographic 'Big Cat' look about it, but then I immediately swing towards the more playful look captured in the others.

:confused: :rolleyes:

I think you already got it right: 1 2 3 4 in that order (all good).

5 doesn't work for me. The wooden bar covers up and distracts + Too little DOF - too little % of image is in focus.

1st 4 are great!

[mercersmoments]

number 3 and number 4 - CRACKERS !!!! They are so great !

What a gorgeous kitty too.

[JimMcrae]

Not easy to pick the best one here - cracking shots - but I'll go with #2, closely followed by #3. The expression is brilliant and the blue eyes are spectacular.

[ScottKCooper]

I like #2, as some the kitty looks a little less than pleased, and #2 seems more relaxed (and tolerant of the photographer).

These are probably the best cat pictures you've posted.

[coyoteboy]

What lens did you use for them?

[PhotogJeff]

#1 is best in my opinion.

[TheMaggedy]

Thanks for all the nice words about my blue-eyed Deezi kitty. She really does make a great subject. I'm so new to this I don't even know how to enhance color in PP so what you are seeing is her eyes straight from camera. They are truly amazing - and inspiring.

Re: the lenses used (interestingly, several of these were rentals. Looking at the pics now, I would almost buy that 28-135 but I just invested in the 24-105L. Hope it does me as well!)

#1 EF28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM

#2 EF70-200mm f/4L IS USM

#3 EF28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM

#4 EF50mm f/1.8 II

#5 EF50mm f/1.4 USM

Thanks so much! Hopefully I will just get better. At least now I have some idea what I'm doing, as opposed to 3 months ago when I picked up a DSLR for the first time. Ack.

No2 FTW from me!

It looks the sharpist and looks like it has the best image quailty too!

Well that's what L glass will do for you. I only wish I owned the EF70-200mm f/4L IS USM. Renting is fine, but turning in the lens is the worst!
