these are lovely.  

I think B&W photos are more expressive somehow as you don't get distracted by the colours - just love their faces - esp the 3rd one down.  Wouldn't like to mess wiv him!

I agree, B&W is definitely a better medium than colour for capturing the true essence of the soul, but you also need to be a good photographer, which you clearly are.

Is Wiggy a shorthaired persian???!! He has the persian face but not the coat - I am confused. By the way he is very handsome

ooooh what gorgeous photos of stunning cats.  Wiggy looks like a british cream ... my mum used to have one just like him ... looked like a thug but was as soft as butter and .. dare I say it ... a bit  "thick"  :rofl:

That's some pretty smart photography dare I say so myself...  ;D And gorgeous furry ones too!  :Luv:

I love the way B&W gives you a certain "je ne sait quoi" that colour images don't, brilliant for portraits of humans as well as felines. It's umm, also a good quick fix for weird colour casts - oopsss, wasn't meant to spill that particular trade secret!  :-:  :doh:  :evillaugh:  :rofl:

thanks all  :thanks:

Dawn, you cant have Wiggy, there is a queue!

I too love the black and white pics, thesewere taken in true black and white and not altered.  I agree the character of the animals comes through somehow.
