Richard, You nailed it. It actually brought a tear to my eye as soon as I saw the thumbnail. Beautiful tribute and a lovely image. I wouldn't change a pixel!!

[Indranil Sircar]

Yep... very much in Dave's style. You brought out so much details and the sparkle in those eye. Excellent work, Richard. TFS.

You really caught it with the eyes here, Richard...they are so expressive yet so soft. Lovely work!

[Judy Howle]

Wonderful fract work on the cat. She has a lovely face and expression.

[Ken Childs]

Great frac work, Richard! Those eyes really make the shot!

[Richard Lovison]

Thanks to everyone and especially Denise for your kind words. I was on the fence about whether to participate in this tribute as I didn't know Dave, unlike all of you. Your comments made me happy I chose to play along. :)
