I'm a cat lover, so absolutely adore this shot, especially the softness around his/her profile.

Good cat portrait. Good sharpness, but the white part of the fur looks a bit blue in my monitor. In my favorites.

Great choice to fill the frame. The focus is a bit soft, but it's still a lovely portrait.

Nice cat! I like the semi-profile position; good timing. It could have been sharper, but the softness of the photo somehow connotes a softness of the fur to me. In my favs.

Beautiful shot of a pretty cat. The focus on the eye is bit soft, but it actually adds to the overall soft feel of the cat. I really like it.

Very nice animal portrait which I think required two things to make it outstanding both of which might have been a challenge both of which would be my attempt to get this tack sharp. First I would have tried to eliminate any chance of camera shake/motion blur at 360mm by either moving closer, using a tripod or upping the shutter speed or all three. Second I would up the shutter speed - 1/125 at f 4.1 tells me you probably had room to do that.

Very nice portrait shot of cat, seems a bit soft & overexposed but all in all I like your entry.
