I'm not a big cat fan, but I loved the look of this one.
Taken with the 85 1.4 no PP sharpening, just curves/levels adjustment. Comments and criticism welcomed:

It was also great to meet ATJ, the blinking eye man:

And the ever enthusiastic Craig:

The one of Andrew is a great example of the qualities of that lens in your hands. Nice use of DOF too.

I really like #1, super sharp and I like the use of the negative space.. althought it not being solid black is a little distracting ..

#2, very nice portrait of Andrew, if anything a little more DOF would of kept more of the face, in particular the eyes sharper. looks to me like the focus is on the upper lip/ nose rather then eyes.

#3 Nice bokeh, and I'm sure I could of been more enthusiastic... I used to be called Mr Enthusiatic at school for a while, but they were being sarcastic...

Nice shots Geoff.

I like the pussy shot but not too sure about those other fur balls :lol: :lol:

The shot of ATJ is a cracker would have been even better with direct eye contact. Good capture of Craig too.

Cheers, Mick :) :) :)

Damn, I should have trimmed my nose hair before the walk. My eyes are always out of focus. Comes with age.

The one of Craig looks so much like his avatar. I love the bokeh in the background.
