Hi Kevin,
Please let your wife know that I love her shots and think she has done extremely well.
The shots that stood out for me on my first view of these was firstly No. 2 and then No. 3, although I think they are all fantastic.
No. 2 - the cat stands out very well almost like 3D, but there is a bit of noise in this shot which is noticeable when enlarged.
No. 3 - lovely detail in this one and nice soft DOF. I also love the colours and the nice sharpness. Very well done IMO.
Nos. 1 & 4, although great shots, I think are a little spoiled by a touch of over exposure.
No. 5 is just beautiful. A touch too much brightness/overexposure on the whites, but I love it.

Ask her to post some more!

Kevin,

These are really good! The cat shot is fantastic, can almost feel his attitude! Also, the butterfly on the little girl's pants seems to match the trim on her blouse! The picture of the leaves is very striking!

first of all I would like to know how you wife took a picture of my cat, lol! She looks just like mine.
I agree with Kaye's feedback. I love the leaf shot the best. the colour, dof and exposure are fantastic! I also love the last one. you wife caught a lovely moment.
