I love the regal pose you've caught here, Harald, as well as the framing for this portrait of your little companion. Excellent postprocessing -- which I would never have thought of doing if it had been my photo, so credit to you for the idea. There is one thing though, and that is that when I first looked at this image I found my vision being deflected to the two small points of light on the furniture in the background, on the right. I would personally clone them out. I don't want you to take this is a real criticism, though, as it is just my personal view, and one that others may find rather unimportant, I must admit. To sum up, this is excellent.

@Andrew Gould: Hallo Andrew, thanks very much for your very kind comment and constructive critisism. You are absolutely rite that this two reflections disturb this tone in tone view. I stamped them away and changed the picture in a corrected one. I appreciate every reasonable critic because sometimes we can't see the wood for the trees. Your comments are always very welcome. Thanks very much.
