excellent work. shapes here are strong. I think the only possible improvement on this would be a little underexposure to darken up the shadow and make it a stronger element of the shot...

Hi Matt...

This photo, to me, is a bit weak. It doesn't not do a good job of conveying a sense of scent or aroma. The perspective from which you made this shot is not particularly intersting, nor is the light. It doesn't inspire me in any way. Having no personal tie with this cat, the photo is just another snapshot to me.

Hi Anna...

I'm not really sure where to start on a critique. You definitely meet the challenge. There's no doubt about that. Your son is obviously very cooperative when it comes to posing for your work :)

I think I may have discovered a tidbit today that may offer you something to think about. I read LensWork magazine cover to cover with the release of each new issue. I find a lot of creative inspiration within it's pages. This month, the editor wrote a short article about things he has learned during his 34 year career. This particular jewel was actually credited to another photographer:

"It is easy to make a photo of someone and call it a portrait. The difficulty lies in making a picture than makes the viewer care about a stranger."

When you think about what this says, it does definitely offer some opportunity when it comes to doing portraits that will be offered for viewing to the general public. This photo is cute for sure. How can you make it draw emotion from someone who doesn't know the subject? If you find an answer, please share with me :) It's a tough one...
