Needs a bit more tonal depth, and the composition doesn't seem quite right to me. I think it would have been nicer if you'd given it more room at the bottom, to make the curve of the claw seem more pronounced, and perhaps rotated the camera a little.

Andrew, thanks for adding the description. I guess I just assumed that a cat would freak out or something (mine would) ...

A Comment From The Critique Club

Hi Andrew,

what a colorful and clever idea. You didn't put any comments, but I'm assuming that you have the smarties on a glass table or similar and your cat is sitting underneath.

I wish I could take any kind of photos with one of my cats in it . . . they just never sit still when I want them to ;)

I really like how your kitty seems to be looking right at the smarties, I also like that the smarties are cropped around the edges so they seem to be going on forever. The yellow ones look a bit bright, almost blown out, but the other ones are fine, and I think this is a tough one because you have the really light colored and really dark colord in your photo, giving quite some contrast. Maybe taking the brown ones out (since they seem to be melting in the background more and don't have as much of an impact on a black background) and then adjusting your exposure a bit ... this might also make the blackground even darker.

I would also like to see a bit more of the cat, but see my previous comments about cat photography ...

Congrats on a very creative and good photo with a great title to match, I'm looking forward to seeing more from you in the upcoming challenges :)

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments about this review.

Franziska.

Now this is interesting, you've brought the detail out very well here. The shallow DOF does wonders for this pic, well done.

The flowers at the top left hand corner is so much over-exposed it is glaring, good capture though.
