this more or less feels like a snapshot to me. the lighting is pretty flat and doesn't offer much contrast on the cat's hair. overall i just don't find the image very interesting. 4.

What a gorgeous creature, and an imagitive capture! Incredible that you managed to get some definition out of the fur as well. Imho, it falls slightly outside of the challenge, but I am going to give it a 9 anyway, because the exposure of shots like this is so #/¤#/&¤ difficult.

Don't particularly like the focus on this. Looks just like my black cat to be honest. The flash in his eye on the left is just a killer for me perosnally.

Cute photo, but I find it too dark, the cat blends in with the background too much

This is a tender scene, and I love the posing from you and your friend. This intimate scene could use some intimate lighting, too, to enhance the mood further. Nice.

Erupting Paper Clips

General: For impact I would have probable chosen different coloured paperclips. Red is a more prominent colour than the green and yellow chosen.

Composition: You'r almost there with the composition. The tape dispenser adds balance though I think the paperclip dispenser is too central horizontally. A different vantage point would adjust this or just including a bit more to the right.

Exposure: The lighting seems a little flat. A little fill flash may have helped. I think if you just exposed it a little more you would blow out the foreground.

Impact: I don't think the vantage point chosen does justice to the image. Maybe shooting more from below and to the left would help here, keeping the same components within the frame.


Keep shooting.

Comment by Gracious:
I think a portrait should reveal some character, or emotion of the model, by showing expression in eyes or other facial features, or body language. Did your picture accomplish that? Yes

artistic/creativity? Ye...interesting perspective

Technical? Fine

Overall? I like this. It shows the warmth of a person/animal relationship/interaction. Good job!

Comment by HBunch:
focus and clarity are really good, but we can't really see either your face, or Gi's face. The main subject really seems to be your hair. specifically the top of your head. Wish we could see your faces more. I think that would make for a more exciting photo.
