Cats Are Better Than Dogs: From a Cat's Eye Viewby
amateurboiComment by Neuferland: Hello from the Critique Club!
What a cutie to start with, I'm a cat lover myself. The expression on his face fits very will with the title, it's the same expression all my cats have, "You are here to serve me." :)
That said, let's talk about the shot. Thanks for the detailed comments, gives me an idea what you have done already. When you say you cropped it a little bit, did that include cropping off the tips of the ears? I think this might have worked better if one as more on a corner of the shot and leading you in and out of the shot. Or better yet if they hadn't been cropped off at all. The lighting is a bit dull to me personally, just a tad more contrast to make the pop a little more?
I do like the way the one paw is leading you in and out of the lower right corner. Very nice.
The border seems a tad heavy for this shot to me, maybe if it was just a little smaller, not so thick? I like the colors used, a good contrast and balance to the shot itself.
Again, a beautiful cat and and a lovely shot overall. Hope these comments help!
Good Luck In Future Challenges!
