 Wally is a four year old female. She enjoys catnip, the water from canned tuna, and long walks on the beach.

Her turn-ons include long, thick whiskers and a deep purr. Her turn-offs are a messy litter-box and an empty food-dish.

This was shot by natural light through a window.

I adjusted hue, brightness, contrast, sharpened a little, ran it through Neat Image, and resized.

Hahaha! I was giggling at the expression on her face, then when I saw the 'turn ons and turn offs' I was hooked. She really has lovely eyes. Another one that should have scored much higher...

Love the notes! This one really stuck with me - I'm one of your 9s. Great shot.

He looks very wise, very confident. Reminds me of a portrait of someone's grandfather for some reason. Love the light, the pose, the setting - all very good.

Love the contrast. He seems to be saying 'I only put up with you because you feed me'. NICE!

Excellent use of window light. Wally looks like he's a handful.

This is so cool. I feel like I am looking at a furry person. Those eyes and face and pose are just wonderful. It looks like he's ready to tell you a little story.

Nice warm light, a reflector would have helped to fill the shadow side a little.

Good lighting and pose. The background adds to the shot, IMO.

7 - Very nice portait of Wally. Just noticed the background looks a little tilted... Look at his paws, aw.
