Hello from the critique club

An appealing image that meets the challenge well

A great image Marcel. I like your exposure that concentrates on the view through the window, what a great view. The inclusion of your colleague as a silhouette really completes the image making it work well. The composition is good but I think it would improve it to exclude the building on the left and perhaps crop the right to match the left.

This is such a precious image. The whiskers show her personality. Totally alert and engaged. And yes, cats are REALLY tough to shoot. I speak from experience :)

Is that a person in a costume? It's so random!! I actually noticed that before I saw the flooding. Not sure if that's the best thing for this challenge, but this is a good depiction of a flood.

AS your commenters have noted a very cute image and more interesting in that it is not a ‘normal’ type of pose which is good. Whilst I do like the unusual approach the hands do feel rather dominant as though they are pinning the cat down to submission, I know this is not the case but that is the impression, for me at least. I do like the eye contact it is very strong and with the shallow DOF even more emphasised. All in all a good attempt at a different animal portrait, well done Marcel.

An image that does not meet the challenge

In so far as it goes you do have focus from foreground to the hut so in that respect it partially meets the challenge Marcel but I don̢۪t think you have chosen the best subject for the challenge because this is not at all challenging in respect of a deep DOF. The emphasis for a successful entry must be on a DEEP DOF this choice of subject is in no way deep. The bland uninteresting sky actually serves a purpose in isolating the hut from the world around it so it is effective in creating a different look to your image but again this is not really the purpose of this challenge. A look at the front page will probably explain better than I am what was expected for the challenge and I̢۪m sure you will agree that your image differs significantly in this respect?
