Hey,

Those are kind of funkie. I like the reflections. Can you share more about the type of set-up that you used? Also, I was going to ask about your light setup as I see no reflections in the eyes.

Hi,

Thanks for sharing your photographs. I really like that first photograph of the cat. Is that a Bengal?

While I also really liked the reflections (and would like for you to share your technique), I was not as floored by the other two samples. Specifically, the flash seems really hard on the last two photographs, emphasizing the area around the ears of the cat.

What sort of message were you trying to convey with the 2nd and 3rd shot? The cat is obviously looking away at something, yet its bodily pose did not indicate that he was particularly interested in anything (perhaps a treat?).

Thanks again...it looks like you were the first one up. I hope to put some things together for web viewing too.

Very cool. How are you handling the reflections? Can you show us the set-up?

I also am very interested in how you were able to get the reflections. They really add something different to the photographs.
