As much as I love kittens, I've always thought newborns looked like mutants! You did well to take what seems like a really formal, studio style photo of this guy, but there are some problems with it. I like the soft focus look, I think that's fine, but the tonal depth is a bit flat, the composiiton doesn't seem tight, and it seems a little bit underexposed to me. The huge shadow over the kitten's front paw (the one on the side near the camera) has an odd effect.

Ahhh, very cute! Interesting ears and tail. Seems a little too young to be weened, did you get the "parents" permission for this photo (child protection laws...joke!) The spotlight on the background might be a little too strong, but the foreground is very, very nice. Good detail. 8 Swash

Cute, cuddly, and perhaps a little sad, but not really dispair. Lighting might need a little work. It's soo cute! I liked the picture of this kitten in the Stock photos just a little better (seemed more appropriate, too). 5 Swash

I just love this shot! I would like to have seen light fill in some of the shadows, especially on the little kitty, but overall the photo really appeals to me.

This is a great subject, but it looks like you tried to save it with the use of sepia. Probably a little underexposed and this is as good as you could get it. I'll give you a 5 for all of the effort.
