Nice shot and detail. Good use of thirds in numerous areas, eyes, nose. (7)

usually when people take pictures of their pet cats, they look reallly bad, but this one is good, nice job

Comment by foxinsox47:
An outstanding photo! Exquisite focus. B&W was definitely a wise choice. The expression on the cat is marvelous; being in middle-age myself, I can certainly see myself (at times) mirrored here. My only reason for not giving this a ten (and it's a bit churlish of me, but this *is* about the Rule of Thirds, after all) is that I think this should have been cropped to move the cat to the right just a tiny amount: a little too much brick is showing. The eyes are a little off the grid nodes, which is really a petty complaint, but there it is. Still and all, this is a wonderful photo :-)

I like the rolling hills and greenery, but those straight lines in the sky are distracting. The sky could have been cropped quite a bit to make a stronger statement of the landscape.

A little problem with traffic jam up in the sky isn't it?

Great sky, but the picture loses something with the bush in the way of the river.

Comment by Titia:
Personally I think there's too much sky, it takes your eye away from the green. I would've cropped out at least 2/3 of the sky. Nevertheless it's a nice green landscape. 6

I like this, but I think you could have cropped it a little tighter at the top i.e. there is a little too much sky which is a bit distracting
