Comment by Gekker:
I don't like how white the sky is. Some cool rocks though and I do feel this was taken from a good perspective as well. Great DOF

Good perspective shot, but maybe just a little tight on the angle. Colr seems very good. Focus is good. Framing - seems O.K. to me. 8 Swash

Meets the challenge: Very well, pets are definitely a cliche.

Composition: I do not care for the cat looking out to the left. I think the flowers would have worked if the cat was facing them, and they and the plant add some additional warmth and hominess to the shot. I take pics of my cats (3) a lot and know how difficult it is to get a well-posed shot.

Technical Quality: I would have preferred the light to be on the cat's face rather than the flowers and the cat's neck and forechest. Also, a better depth of field (7-8)would have enabled the cat's face to be in focus, or to focus in on the face and let the flowers etc be out of focus, since they are add-ons to the main subject, although then you would be dealing with exposure times!

Creativity: Good use of props to make the shot more interesting and warm.

Overall Conclusion: A shot that needed some technical and composition improvement. If you take it with the cat facing the window, send me a copy, bet it'll be gorgeous!

Good way to meet the challenge. I have a little difficulty understanding what is what on the wall.

nice leading lines, and view of the distance. the horizon is sloped a bit too much to the right. slightly over exposed.. good overall.

Feels like you need a little more wall and a little less water. Nice shot though.

Beautifl tones. I love the inclusion of the rocks sticking out of the water.

COMPOSITION- NIcely composed image. I like how you've done the portrait frame and had it long for this one. It fits perfect for this shot. Color and the way you have it lined up is good. I like the dark effect with the little windows lit up.

BACKGROUND- it works great for this photo. Nothing is distracting.

CAMERA WORK- you focus and shutter speed are perfect. The photo is exposed perfectly. I like the glint of the doorknob, it lets us know it's a door.

POST PROCESSING- color adjustments and saving are done great. no artifacts or noise here.

MY OPINION- This is a nicely framed well shot photograph. It looks like something an artist would have in his studio. It is shot perfectly, but this kind of art isn't my fortè. Do you live in Japan? I've loved some of your other shots.

too centered the lighting is a little bit harsh and uneven.
