I adopted this lovely cat, Sky, from Batspam <3 A -- PERFECT alignment achieved (methinks) -- Beautiful tail curve -- AWFUL eyelids B -- Alignment off towards camera -- Causes tail curve to be off -- Great eye lids C -- Great alignment (like one pixel shy away from camera) -- Beautiful tail curve -- Great eye lids I'm mostly debating on A and C because I really love them both, but C has better eyelids and A has the best alignment I've ever seen. What do ya'll think?

You’re gonna hate me, but B is the best as far as leg alignment goes. Do you see how much thinner the front legs look on B compared to the other two? Means they’re better aligned. The tail on B is exactly what a typical Calico tail looks like when the cat is well aligned — that’s a normal Calico tail curve. The legs on A and C have way too much leg showing on the left side. Leg alignment is most important and dictates what happens with the rest of the cat, like the space between the back legs and the tail curve that can be achieved. PS: I’m on my iPad, so can’t zoom in properly right now. I’ll have to take a close-up look at B later on my computer, as can’t tell if there is a pixel of leg on right side, but would still be better than A and C. EDIT: Came back to zoom in with my PC. B pose is indeed BIS-quality. Legs are PERFECTLY aligned, not even the usual few pixels we see with Calico legs. The tail goes with the legs -- it's perfect for a Calico tail with this leg alignment. A and C are very misaligned, showing a lot of leg on the left (even more than I thought before zooming in), up to 3 pixels deep. I personally would place these as HM. I lightened pose A, and then highlighted the leg's outline in red. In comparison, pose B doesn't show any pixels beyond the closest leg's outline, which means perfect alignment (you also can quickly tell because the legs in pose B appear much thinner because they overlap perfectly).

Oh my goodness I think I mixed up my notes when I typed this up?? (who knows with me ahaha) ANYWAY I'm not mad! Thank you for pointing that out ^o^ I'm so happy because I love the eyelids from B so much <3
I like the alignment of B but not the tail curve (even tho that's just what happens). I notice if I let just a bit stick out on the back (like A) the tail curve is really pretty. But I do like when its just a tiny bit less sticking out than that. (wonder if that's achievable?)
