To me the cat doesnt fit. that cat is nice, and focused and while theres nothing particularly wrong the lighting and the shadows make me think of a private detective movie there should be a man with a trench coat and a fedora in teh background and a 50's brunette bombshell in place of the cat. its such a cool mood youve captured it seems almost wasted on the cat. not that i dont like them i have a few and i love cats. he/she just looks out of place to me. just my opinion. not trying to be rude.

Nice macro of the avocado, the bumpy edge and smooth pit make for great textures, I think the green is a bit oversaturated for my taste though. That would make some bright guacamole.

* Greetings from the Critique Club *

First up, well done on your 2nd entry in DPC challenges. This is a simple photo showing great detail in the leaf. Looking at your comments you also made the most of a simple lighting setup.

I agree with some of the comments you received about filling the frame with your subject rather than having the white background in the top corner, but by doing that you may run the risk of people looking at it as too much of an abstract of some sort.

The lovely warm tones of the sepia filter are apparent here and works really well with the leaf. Your focus seems to be pretty close to spot on except slightly around the edge of the leaf at the top.

Well done on this entry and it scored very well. Best of luck with your future challenges.

Very nice 'old feel' lighting and blur. I like it!

Strange colour on the rings.
Cropping and setup is good.
