So, I wonder if that means she doesn't sleep on your lap?

nice shot! And it is for real, unlike many other shots in this challenge. You can feel the rain.

Very nice. I like that we can see the whole reflection of the person but only his lower legs thru the viewfinder. The red in the upper left is a nice addition too.

First Impressions: Ah...a violin

-------------------------------------------------------------

Composition: Composition leaves me a bit mixed. The DOF is so shallow that there is minimal detail to focus on. Further parts of the violin become mostly colored blurs.

Subject: The subject, "violin", is a beautiful instrument. However, I find the colored strings to be extremely distracting.

Technical (Colour, focus, and light): Color tones is nice. The focus leaves a bit to be desired. Lighting is well done.

-------------------------------------------------------------

To improve?: Increase the depth of field. Desaturates the magentas, reds, cyans to see if you can reduce the colors of the strings.

Summary: Not a bad endeavor but not very strong. As it was for the challenge "leading lines" I would have expected the lines to have been a stronger focus. Where as it stands now they are blurred and secondary to the photo.

Nice gaze. She looks a bit irritated at your taking a picture of her. Cant wait to see the expression on day 30.

A beautiful shot of a beautiful cat. I love how I can see all the detail of her face, and I just want to touch that little nose (not that she'd let me of course!). The sharpness is great, and I think that little bit of blue and green on the right adds to the image, and makes the eyes pop. I really like this.
