Get That Thing Out Of My Face

Hi from the Critique Club --

Great capture. I hope that no photographers were injured in the making of this photo.

What I Like: Focus, detail, and cropping are all excellent. The cat is off-center, which makes it more interesting. Congrats on not falling in the "center the snapshot in the frame" trap.

What Could Be Better: Playing with the lighting or levels might make the white fur pop a little bit more. As it is now, the colors and contrast are relatively muted overall. And, as a cat owner myself, I just try to get away from the standard pet photo. Push yourself to find something different to shoot. Sometimes it's difficult to have a stand out photo when there are already 5 cat shots in the same challenge. This is just my opinion.

Congratulations on a great capture.

Greetings from the Critique Club --

My main concern with this photo is that the subject is very difficult to discern. I'm all for abstract photography, but this looks like you were actually trying to frame a subject and just didn't quite do it. One suggestion would be to not have such a tight crop; this would allow the viewer to put the subject in perspective and see that it's a hot spring. It would also allow them to see the scale of the water burst.

On the right side of the photo, the detail, focus, and lighting are just excellent -- really exemplary. If the subject were better defined, this would make a much better photo.

the lighting in this photo is a little dingy. the photo could pop more if you played with the levels.

IMHO the screen by itself without the floor would have looked better (like on a plain backdrop). i really like the angle of the shot, but the additional squares on the floor turn this image into more of a jumble.

the pattern of the photo is excellent. I think i would prefer it without the magnifying glass (or whatever that is) in the lower left. it interrupts the rhythm that this photo enjoys.

i would enjoy this more on a seamless backdrop, but i love taschen books, so i'll let it go. :)
