Lovely! I see the similarities, both with beautiful eyes for one thing. Nicely done Steve! :)
Steve Buffington replied
I agree. Its in the eyes most I think. And I was thinking this similarity phenomena mostly happens with dogs. Not so much with cats. You think?—Steve

Hello Lois. I have certainly missed your energetic and thoughtful comments. Not to make you feel obligated to visit at all. Its just good to hear from you. And what a compliment. Thank you. I do shoots of events, so most of the people shots I post are taken on the fly during the events. So I am on the job, but not focused on portraits.—Steve
