Lent themselves to a good in-depth treatment that also allows for interesting lighting variations. We have a brand of pretzels that look a lot like these shapes.

The isolation of the head combined with the expression makes for a very charming picture of her. Had to laugh at your description of what Neoshki does when the camera comes out, mines exactly the same.

Fun light and dark and a good way of accenting those eyes. Those intelligent, inquisitive looking eyes...hiding.....well, we sometimes call Sapphy "Robin" (as in Robin Thick), because there's really very little going on between the ears and behind the eyes, except for waiting to see when we go into the kitchen.

Love the fluff in the sun look, and the crossed rear legs In the right light we can see Sapphy's fluff floating through the air.

I agree with the good lady's choice, with 402 second. Nice how just a segment of one eye is catching the light.

I'd rather deal with Neo's inquisitiveness than JD's run-for-the-hills response to my camera.

Honda Red CBR - a real rocket - perfect timing for a streaking background.

The blurry movement behind, coupled with the bright vibrant red of the bike seem to impart a sense of movement/going fast even though its still. I like it.

Great vibrant colours and action, and well stabilised! Better than a safety....

Thanks. This normally would not have been a keeper but turned out to be the only shot of the few hastily taken that was even close to usable.

The burst on that central yellow light is a compelling element but I do prefer your chosen frame for its sky/road distribution.
