Beautiful photograph. I loved the colors, composition and focus. I just hope the mother dove will come back after you ran her off for the shot ;-) "9"

Hope - For a Kitten Without a Mom
by SandyP

Comment:
I thought this was an absolutely beautiful photograph -- I love the subject matter, the lighting on the girls, the tone, the girls' faces, and on and on. I deducted one point because it was hard to see the kitten. I know we're limited by the basic rules, but wish that area had more lighting. Your wording in the title was a very wise choice. --9--

I like your composition, colors and focus. There seems to be a little distortion right around the edges of the hand and anchor. I've learned that working on a jpg image sometimes causes this. I've started saving mine as tif until I'm through editing and then converting to jpg to enter contest. Just a little suggestion, for whatever it's worth ;)

Very clear and well focused. I like the close cropping.

Great focus. The white background works very well! And those beautiful eyes certainly protray hope. (Can you tell I'm a cat-lover!)
