Nice black and white. Fun positioning of the cat in the frame. Personal preference would be to make it a little bit more contrasty (make the darks a bit darker). A few parts of the cat seem to be out of focus (front paws, tail) -- was the cat moving during the shot, or is it just a little bit too shallow DOF?
Composition-Good job isolating the subject. Background-works with this picture,does not add or distract. Except to make the cat look very comfy, which was perhaps the point. Technical-There is nothing really wrong with it. Overall impression- Technically its a good shot, I might have changed the framing slightly to leave less "background" in the lower right. I also might have tried to eliminate the white specks thruout. ....7.
One of my top three! Not to be picky, but the two white spots in the center - yeah those, right there - are the only thing that kept me from giving you an eleven.
I am trying so hard to find anything nice to say. While I am sure the kitty is the love of your life it is so terribily boring to those of us not privilidged to know it. This is a gray and gray attempt at black and white and the focus is off. For what it is worth the person next to me loved the cats smile.
