Greetings from the Critique Club

Hi pepsipepsibaby and welcome... good score of a 5 for your first entry!

First impressions... I like the angle, wonderful detail in the shot, pretty good macro!

Your lighting here is rather bothersome, though only in the eyes... I'm guessing you used a straight flash... when taking a straight on shot, especially this close up, try to get rid of some of the harsh flash, this can be achieved in a few ways, taping a few layers of tissue may be enough to achieve what you are looking for, but try different things.

This is a good Fill the Frame, it meets the challenge well, and I like the fact there is no distracting background (it's black) to take away from what we are looking at. Nice job there.

I would have liked if you had the nose a tad bit more in focus, but it's not extremely distracting.

The subject you used was great, especially cause he was sniffing the camera. I like that this is a different shot, and it's not forced which is cute, the cat interacts with the photo which makes it much more personal then the average macro of cats.

Overall pretty nice job... work on that flash a little, and I think this could be great if you could get the cat to sniff the camera again ;-)

Under your shot details you can find out what you had the settings at on your original photo. For aperture I would guess around F3.5, ISO... maybe 400 and shutter was probably at 1/60 of a second or whatever your flash syncs at. fill those in instead of what you filled in.

Ok... good luck in the future!

I love animal pictures and I never get tired of them. This is cute. Nice detail on most of the fur. The focus is a bit soft on the nose. Still good!

Interesting angle. Nice focus, but would like to see just a touch more DOF in the bottom left corner, since we are so up close and personal.

I usually mark down most cat photos, but this is nice.

Composition: Nice angle of image - improves the shot dramatically for me.
Technical: I would have preferred more DOF, but this may be a camera limitation. Good colour and contrast where in focus.
Meets challenge: Mostly
Overall impression: Nice image only let down by DOF.
