Very tame hispid cotton rat:

oh... I love that sharpness of the fur
lovely sweet spot on the eye

if you allow som critics:
put the focus of the eye more to the golden rule.
maybe you should crop the left hand side to the nice focus point of the eye.
the edge could be the left one of the y-shapred grass stalk.

and maybe it would be more expressive, if you darken the background a little.

otherwise really great.

great b/w
maybe it would have been even better if the DOF would have been a little wider and the dogs nose would have been a little bit sharper.

but afterwards its always easier to tell...

I am touched. And that's what counts.

It's a 15 year old cat and she always looks mad.... It took quite a while to get the two of them posed... I used catnip on the "tree" to keep their attention... the bottom cat is STONED!!

In the series of pets preparing for Christmas, here's our local lion tasting the Christmas tree. Unfortunately not very sharp, but it was a short moment

His tree has no lights so you can't put lights on yours!
