    Beautiful.  The catch-light is dead-solid perfect.  Nicely done.

    Penny - and a fine choice it is. That little glint in her eye coming through the fur, along with that great smile make the shot for me. Great job and a great entry in the challenge.

    This is all a portrait should be.  The pose, lighting, partial covering of one eye is cool.  Thank you.

    Beautiful shot, Penny.  I like this one in color or b/w.  I remember she has mesmerizing, steel blue eyes.

    Vo (I can't leave half a vote here and half elsewhere?) te.  This was tough and I was torn between this portrait and Chef' which are both damned near perfect and both catch the spirit of the individual photographed.  I cannot say why I chose one instead of the other except that the coin came up tails.

    This is wonderful, Penny.  Like Wilk, I had to toss a coin........sorry, you ended up with the wrong toss.  Excellent piece of work, though.  :)

    Wow!!! Very nice. The catchlight in the eye, the shine in the teeth, exposure dead on, and there are no shadows. I can't vote yet until I view the rest but definitely in the forefront.

    VOTE ~ it was a very tough choice!  This is a great shot technically and I love that she seems so relaxed and natural!  Chef is a close second, she didn't seem as relaxed.  :o)
