*Greetings from the Critique Club!*
I really like the colors and composition of the shot. I think, however, that you may have overprocessed the reds in the shot. Don't get me wrong, I like the overall impression that the reds give me, but I think that you might be able to keep that overall impression by selectively choosing which objects to saturate. For example, I think you could elect NOT to choose the bowl and it's fractured elements to saturate - creating a less "obvious" use of red saturation. This might lead the viewer to interpret the glass bowl and contained kitten as a separate object on its own merit (which I think might be advantageous in this particular instance).
The cropping and composition are great. I like the off-set placement of the subject matter and the direction of the kitten's eyes that lead you to the negative space.
The reflection of the reds in the crevasses of the bowl are a little distracting and the harshness of the processing seems to show a bit around the kitten itself. I think you could probably selectively reduce these a bit and still retain the overall "feel" of warmth created by the rosy colors. You can probably selectively bring out some of the warm golden tones of the kitty by altering the source lighting for that particular object.
Overall, I think this is a really great shot. You've managed to maintain a warm "fuzzy" feeling and presented it in a tastefully artful manner. You've also managed to fuse very unlikely elements in a cohesive manner (the red colors, hard glass, and a furry animal). Well done.

| Awwwwwwwwww! First off, I love the colours; secondly, I'm a sucker for a little kitty in any sort of little container. In this case, the pretty bowl works well, and the kitty is absolutely adorable. Composition is nice; colours all look good, and the sharpness is decent. I see some mild noise or perhaps compression artifacts in the red, but red always seems to show that too much, so it doesn't take away IMO. Adorable! Nice shot. |

| I personally don't care for this bright red background, it is a bit overpowering in my opinion, takes away from the adorable kitten. |

| Is this guy beautiful or what? Incredible. They do get in places which surprise us. I know one tiny basket outside the house that a little one gets in but then I find the full grown ones in it too. Anyway, a lovely capture. This little guy is the sweetest thing I have seen. |
