Very pretty kitty and picture is taken well...nicely focused. Might be a tad dark at the top, but otherwise technically sound. A family pet just doesn't, in my opinion, meet the spirit of the challenge.

This is really a nice shot. The light, and color are wonderful as is the composition. I have one small negative remark. It's the dings in the leaf. In photography a flaw that is natural, -normal or small --- becomes HUGE. It's right where the eye lands.

Hi E.J. Again I have the honor of critiquing your photo. This is one of those shots I would have thought would do a lot better. I really like this pic a lot, but you can never foretell how the rest of the DPC voters will vote right?

The lighting is perfect here, the detail is amazing, those water drops look just so crisp. The decision to do this in black and white was okay, I think it has come out well, although a lot of comments below state they would rather have seen this in color.

The cropping is something I would have done differently, the main subject seems just a little too centered for me.

Apart from that I think you did a good job.

Gary
