Really good shot - it looks like a photo you might see in a newspaper in the auto section.

Well you beat your prediction by a mile (and you are 100% right FS scores ARE a killer). A lovely shot of feline contentment, I was really struck by the darkness of the negative space and how this made the charcoal grey fur stand out. Super composition

Very snapshotty. This would of benefitted from being in a better envvironment. Also it is cropped incredibly tightly. average.

To me the BG is a bit distracting. Also the tight crop to the car makes the image uncomfortable.

The background spoils this as does the blow out on the roof.

Comment by NikonJeb:
Too many distracting elements in this composition. Cras are notoriously hard to photograph well to be able to have the focus be on them. A bit cooked on the top.

Not sure about the border nor the the angle. When reading up on car photography before doing the challenge myself, the recommendation was to avoid shooting from eye level and aim to go for about wheel height with a wide angle lens. This seems higher than eye level and I'm not sure it works all that well. The cropping is very tight and you have quite a distracting background. Quite a lot of glare from the roof too.
