Very simple shot. There's an oomph factor that's missing but I can't figure out what it is. Maybe a single weed pushing itself up through it? Or something totally opposite that has fallen and is resting in it? Maybe just more contrast might help.

Hope this doesn't offend.

This is really great work. I love black and white, and you've taken what should be a dry (ha ha) subject and given it a bit of drama. Who's taking over whom, we wonder?

Really cute photo! My suggestion would be that it seems that the pedestal is in sharp focus while the kitten is a touch blurry.

In a million years this will make a great fossil as some future scientist will no doubt claim it was the bottom of an ancient ocean where megalo somethings died out due to a giant crystal meteor... or not.

This is a lovely composition. I like the diagonal movement, and the contrast between the types of ground. The tones are nice as well. Great eye for capturing this! :o)

Hehehe this makes me giggle out loud! I love kittens. Most of them act as if they are on a pedestal, even if they aren't. ;)

This shot has nice, even lighting and is well-exposed. As a personal preference, I would like to see the eyes in sharper focus. You might try selecting just the area right around the eyes with the lasso or the elliptical marquis tool, then feathering the selection, and applying a little more USM to them to bring them more sharpness. Great shot!! :)

What a sweet kitty. She has a great expression. Nice clear focus. Maybe lighten up the right eye and get rid of those three white dots. Nice white background - brings out the contrast of the tabby stripes.
