I snapped some more kitty shots earlier today.
I was wondering if they look allright, they kinda look strange to me for some reason, either to sharp or too bright, something..
Anyway taken w/auto white balance (it was overcast and the cloudy wb made them look too warm).
The simplest of PS applied-- (Crop/resize/levels/sharpen/fade sharpen).

These are just a few..

Thanks for looking, and comments/critique if so inclined.. :)

5 for 5 from this cat lover. Nice job. I should take a bunch of my two. Nice capture of eyes. the profile (5th) is something different, I think.

Aww, cute cat. They look good to me, maybe a little bright on the cat in a couple of them.

I think they look good, his color is gorgeous. Nice contrast between him and rich green background and great focus. I like the profile best.

Just richen the tones up a little with levels and/or curves and you've got some winners:

Thanks bear, that really brought out some detail I lost on the top of kittens head and ears..

I tried to adjust the series, some look better, others I think made to dark.
Any comments? If they suck can someone give me some tips on how to "Richen the Tones" better..

Thanks

Oh, way way WAY better. In many ways such a little change, a little tweak of a slider, but the difference is like night and day. Give me too dark over too light any day of the week, actually, if you're going to miss the mark :-) Not that these do, mind you... But a bit too much contrast is better than a bit too little contrast, usually, and too light, too washed out, is always the kiss of death.

There :-) That's my pronouncement for the evening...
