Pouncer is of a breed called a Bengal. 20lbs.

Lovely Colin - the background also works great for her coloration.

Looking very regal indeed - especially the third one. The cat really has some beautiful markings on her especially the stripes down the legs...

Fantastic shots Peto.........Prouncer really jumps outs against the background!

No.3 is my pick ...........thumbs up

[Schellamo]

I like no 2, the blue background really brings out the cats eyes.

Looks like a fat bastard in no 1 though!

Thanks all. There were many more shots of him but I thought 3 to post was sufficient. #1 was the image the client chose for prints.

I also prefer #3, the pose looks the most natural. #1 is transitory; Pouncer is either lifting or lowering his head, but the action isn't complete. (I do like the half-grabbing paw, though.) I guess this shows the value of doing everything well, because ultimately it's how the client sees their cat that matters, and we won't have the same relationship and experience.

They're all great shots.

Thanks Mathew. The #2 shot is just Pouncer fixated on a toy that I use to get kitty's attention. It is used in every shot.

What a beautiful kitty Pouncer... He looks so big!! I just love his fur... wonderful colors... I think the same as Matthew... Too much has to do the relationship you have with the kitty to choose the picture but the last one is for a magazine...

All beautiful pictures, Colin

Thank you Irma. He is a 20lb boy. Very affectionate too.
