Two versions of the same original image are given. One shows a bit more head and the other less. I like the tighter crop since to me, it makes the kitty look stronger. Please give your opinion on the crop...Thanks. TomDart.

Leave the ears

dBgrafix, do you mean all the ears..or as in the first image? I can leave the ears totally by going back to the original. This one gives more chin and more ears than the others. I think the extra tight crop is not good at all and sorta prefer this one. Thanks for comment. Tom.

The first one looks the most balanced to me. The tighter crop definately works the best IMHO.

I'd go with the first one as well. Better balanced.

I liked the first one.Makes a good expression with a bit of ears there.

*pulls out 3 papers to hold up against the screen images...
hmmm... if it were mine... not saying i'm right...
but the classic full crop of the first,
(maybe a bit clich but each cat is unique)
mouth looks right, top & bottom just fine...
crop the white either side, keep the face even,
if the quality is real good & detailed, which seems to be,
would look great big! no smaller then 800X600,
& think i can see your reflection in his eyes :] that size may or may not work for you... up to you of course

With Cindy on this one...I would go for the full on crop, just eyes, nose and mouth! Did that with my son, full blow poster adorning my wall...:)
