The detail in teh larger image is impresive. Great look at those teeth. Well done.

I "feel" the cut legs, so I think your best solution if to go in even closer, just managing to avoid meeting any of those excellent whiskers. That should then present as pretty dramatic "in your face" close up. Facial detail is excellent.

Wow, what wonderful detail when viewed large. I agree with the idea of a crop to just below the whiskers on her chin. Richard

Ken, I am completely in the same camp as Lon on this one. With the front legs cut off, I would crop this closer to put more inphasis on the face and attitude she is giving you.

Ken - killer shot, but I guess I can't argue strongly with those suggesting a different comp because of the abrupt end to the front legs in this comp. Another option might be a somewhat heavy and "custom" vignette? Wouldn't be bad all around on this one, actually! Still a fantastic capture in my opinion.
