Chocolate British Shorthair.
Firstly I must apologise for my absence lately, hopefully I can put that right from now.
These were taken at the request of the Cats breeder to be used on a tablecloth
and on a breed website illustrating breed colours. Im fairly pleased with them.
Natural light, 50mm lens. Only editing is removing a couple creases
which made the background more uniform in appearance too.

Both are good but number for me is the better of the two.
In number 1 I don't like the way the tail disappears out of the shot but in both you have fulfilled the brief by capturing the detail and the colour of the cat.

Agree with Steve - number 2 for me too - it is a shame about the tail in number one - but anyone who looks at my rat website will see I'm terrible for amputating tails too - for me they're too long, and not the most interesting part of the animal - and if you have a shot with the tail in too, frequently you don't get a close enough look at the rest of the animal 
Gorgeous photos though!
Number two is fab - and I'm sure that the breeder will love them.

Thanks Steve. Getting everything on is not easy, but I agree it may of been better if I could of managed it. They wanted more "Cat" than background if that makes sense, consequently I had to forego the tail. That image is not cropped at all. The second image is also not cropped but took more time to get the required look, I used a toy to make him rech over the edge and luckily he stayed there a while!!
Thanks again Steve your commenst are appreciated.

I do agree about the tail, but for me it doesnt detract too much from the overall image. Should all be docked if you ask me!

I agree with you about tails - it never bothers me if they're missing for my website certainly! xx

I love number 2 ....I don't like the fact that number 1 is not complete, and somehow, his head seems very small......
