Greetings from the Critique Club!

Composition:

The position of the kitty and his whiskers leading from the bottom left corner is good, I would like to have seen all the whiskers in the frame and possibly a little more negative space to the right of them. I agree with your commenters that the white in the background on the left is quite distracting and may have lost you a viewer points with the voters.

Technicals:

Love the sharpness in the whiskers. Nice use of depth of field and focus, a little brighter lighting on the kitty may have helped but other than that I think this a 'technically' pretty good.

My personal thought:

I am really surprised this didn't score higher! The only other reason I can think of is its possibly easily recognisable at first glance which may have given you a few less points.

Look forward to seeing more images of your lovely 'model'! :o)

If you've got any questions about this critique, please feel free to contact me via the PM system.

Focal point is too high up on camera so your eye is searching for "what? is in focus"

this is my red ribbon. it is the essence of photography. you rule the moment! you have mastered motion, licked the leap... transformed energy into matter. Life has become art. It might have been an accident that her ears were cropped off, but it is a stroke of genius. She is now a gorgeous curving rectangle intersecting the rectangles of bedframe?(molding?) and blanket... a tornado of rich color. simply perfection. and a favorite. 10
