I think I would prefer the glass when standing this close :wink: I like the intimate scene. I might prefer the nose and mouth not be cut off, but still very nice as is. :wavey:

Wow, those eyes are hypnotic! This crop really zeros in on that stare.

Very well done Monica, I'd be glad for the glass there's unsatisfied hunger in that stare, but what kind?

Nice shot Monica, must have been very clean glass which I think served it's purpose as this looks to me like a don't mess with me look.

Quite an intimate and, yes, scary, shot, Monica. I like how this cat is looking at you with his pupils at the top of its eyes. The glass didn't adversely affect the shot; detail looks great. I like the comp too. :toast:
