Pretty Kitty a.k.a. Boo
by deepfrog17

Comment:
3 - Good potential, like the composition and colors - although do wonder if another color other than red may have brought out Boo's eyes more. Main thing in this image is the grain/noise/something - very dominant here to the point the quality has deteriorated. Also, sharper on the eyes, and possibly also nose/mouth/whiskers.. Could all be pp issues, not sure.

6 - Nice pose of Nibbles. Not sure the toning is working as well as a variation may have - just like to have seen more 'pop'. Perhaps a frame may have also given this an edge - just looks a little 'empty'.

Happy Holidays!

4 - Despite your title - dog doesn't look too 'happy'. Like to have seen the focus sharper on the dog's eyes and the blown areas on the balls/baubles reduced. The black fabric so much in focus at the fore is slightly distracting. edit:typo

3 - More lighting and sharper on the nose/eyes and a more refined crop (either including or excluding the purple collar) make this better in my opinion. Too dark overall.

4 - Sharper focus on the eyes and variation in crop (less bottom more at the top), make this better in my opinion.

Noah

Comment:
4 - Looks like you have gone to a bit of effort - not sure that the background being this 'bold' is helping bring out Noah's features and colors, same with the color of the ball. Like to have seen Noah looking at camera or even just to discern the color of his eye's more. The inner frame detracts in my opinion and this is too tightly cropped.

5 - Nice shot of the bunny, like to have seen the rabbit more dominant 'somehow' here. I understand the concept, but for this Challenge - like to have seen .. more bunny.

Lily

6 - Nice outdoor shot of Lily. Like to have seen her eyes lit up more. More clarity overall making her 'pop' against that nice field be better in my opinion. the blown areas in the background - a little distracting, but fairly minor. Compositionally, with the way she is facing, perhaps a little more space on the left and tighter crop on the right - if you had it of course.

Beez

Comment:
3 - Not a bad angle, but looks lik it needs a rotate/something. Looks like a yellow cast as well, but could be lighting. Focus sharper on Beez eyes and no blur, make this better in my opinion. Nice eyes, but not sure you've captured Beez' beauty as much as a different setup may have. Shadows are also distracting.

5 - Well it is different. Does looks snapshottish somewhat, but .. well, potential looks like it was there for a more detailed setup of the background, etc - to really give this an edge.
