I think you have done an excellent job at composing and executing this shot. The cat fills the frame nicely, while at the same time it doesn't feel cramped or tight to me. Mr. Burns has done an excellent job of "posing" and his position really forces the viewers to engage in eye contact with him.
While part of him feels like it is slightly "soft" (no pun intended) the eyes are sharp and crystal clear, which causes the viewer to focus even more on them. Also, the shallow depth of field works well here to eliminate any distractions from the background. To make it initially more engaging, it might be helpful to "catch" him in a situation where the context could also add to the "story" of the picture. For example, perhaps crouched waiting for a mouse, etc.
Technically, this picture is very well done. While I did not have a problem with "domesticates" in this challenge (like you pointed out, in a city environment, this would be the fauna) if you read some of the threads, you can see that I am in the minority, I think. This shot is very well done, and in a challenge specifically for pets would do rather well. |
