I would not resist it either. Great pose well captured IMHO. I like the bit of blur in the left front paw as well as the BG. thanks for sharing.

Oh how I envy your access to the vast variety of animals you post. This one is precious. He/she seems a bit timid... maybe her first time venturing out. Good story telling image as well as good techs. Keep them coming!

Hello Ken... Great kitten expression here and excellent head whiskers detail. The slower shutter gives nice front paw motion effect.

The several bright spots are quite a distraction, but you can easily adjust them :)

Very cute Ken. Nicely done on the exposure (lighting conditions here are just a tad tough!). The background does distract and detract from the image overall (and I'm not sure I agree with Bill that they can be "easily adjusted" on this shot), but the cuteness still wins out.

Thanks everybody for your comments.
I did as much as I could to reduce the "bright" background.
