Curious what you think of this one

This is my first post in the critique forum. My sister asked me to take a few shots of her creatures....just curious what you think of these.
Thanks,

Wonderful images, JS. Now how did you survive that shoot? ;) I really like the 3rd one because of the closeness of it. You really caught the personality of these felines. Especially the regal "how dare you" of the white queen. How close did you have to get for the 3rd one?

I'm not a cat person and yet have to say these are beautiful! I love the first and the third. On the first, his eyes seem almost to glow. And in the third I love how detailed his whiskers are, and how the texture of his fur seems to be almost tangible.

I love the third but my only nitpick is that here is a cat with two different colored eyes, and I can't see them that well. I would love to have seen some reflection to brighten her face a bit and bring out those amazing eyes!

JS,

I prefer the third one. The nice tilt of the head, helps it alot, and the nice tight crop works well.

Nice and crisp,

Jared

Well thank you! It wasn't too difficult to shoot these as I happen to like cats. The white cat is in a bedroom that had no lights, so I was stuck with available light and a creature that wouldn't budge. I was there 4 or 5 hours and the cat never moved.
For the closeup I was about two feet away..

Thank you!

The cat in the middle just won't budge, I wanted to get her out where there was more light because her eyes are very strange, one blue, one green, and her face is flat as a pancake. She looks like she hit a garbage truck at full speed!
