Wow. These are really beautiful. The second one looks soft to me, but it's probably the crappy work monitor I'm viewing it on. I *love* that you got the steam from his/her breath in the first one.
Really like these - good lighting and you've captured the expressions well - last one has a great eye (tend to find horses/dogs can end up with a very dark almost black eye unless one is careful - or lucky and gets one with bright eyes not dark)
