I'm not sure about the black background, but didn't have much choice. He's a cutie, so enjoy anyway :) His name is Santan.

I think the black background is fine, you filled the frame with him well, and he is such a gentle looking soul! Lovely portrait Tess

Nat -- another absolutely fantastic capture. The black background really set Santan off. Simply super.

Thanks guys. I had a comment elsewhere that it was oversharpened? what do you think? Sometimes you stare at a piccie too long and I can't see it any longer and need outside help...hehe.

The picture is just fine. Great job. And I couldn't think of a better background than the one you have to make it stand out the way you did. Top marks.
