Lovely shot, pity it was only basic editing as that cable top left is a distraction and the image would be better without it.

Pretty cool that this old truck is there too. You must have used a split ND filter on this to darken the sky and sign? Works pretty well except for the sign (meaning good idea on controlling the sky). Anyway...good luck in the challenge.

Stunning eyes, the coyotes seem to have left a strong grey impression in the little tiger. Hope the left paw is just hidden and not a victim of the fights. :) love the backlighting.

As promised that if I did not happen to comment on yours during voting I would comment after. Beautiful grey cat and with those lovely amber eyes her would have been a stand out beauty for the Gray challenge earlier. Focus is wonderful - I love all the lovely details and textures we see on Mr. Kitty. And I absolutely love the natural 'halo' lighting that beautifully outlines the fur/shape of the head. The composition has strong potential to move out of the slightly above average and into the exceptional category if you correct a few flaws. First off there is some odd reflections off of Mr. Kitty's eyes. It looks like it may be a reflection of the room. Could a slightly higher angle or different angle removed those reflections? The reflections detract and distract attention away from those beautiful amber eyes. Next, having Mr. Kitty on the couch with that a design may have entered an element that competes for attention. The design adds shapes and textures not to mention a similar hue that tends to take some focus off the cat. If we just had to work with the image as is I would crop this to a straight head and front torso shot for two reasons. One it would eliminate much of that completing textured background. Second it would give your cat more of the spotlight by bringing us even closer to your main subject. If you want to keep more of the backdrop in the shot then my only suggestion would to be to change the angle such that you only have the back of the couch as the backdrop rather than back and armrest. That way it would be more of a solid 'wall' rather than something that has dimension of corners that show light and shadow. The only drawback to this course of action is that you may loose that lovely halo lighting which is one strong point of this photo.

(BTW you don't happen to be a fan of the Babylon 5 universe...Mr. Kitty was one characters pet in one of the spinoff shows)
