*Howdy from the Critique Club*

I would like to say first, what a cute image you have here. Since I have a few of these. I really like the perspective view here, looking into something. As I start looking around your shot the red to the right, to me is over powering the cat. My eyes keep wondering over there. So I pulled it up in Photoshop and split it up by drawing lines on it. To see how it played with rules of the third and your cat is close to a power point. If you do not know what a power point is. It is where two line intersect each other. Well I thought, I will crop the red away and by doing so, to me it accomplished two things one it got rid of the red and two putting the cat on a power point. Now I look directly to the cat. You can see the changes here. Please let me know if you don't want my version of your image online, and I'll take it down.

I see where you use levels a lot. A quick tip in levels if you hold down the ( option on a Mac or alt on a PC ) and left click the triangles below the histogram and slide them it will show you black pixels which are on the left and white pixels to the right triangle. I do not mess with the center I use curves for this. Most of the time I just slide them until I barely get white or black pixels. I do see in your notes that you use curves and then levels. There is an easier way, so you don't have to go to levels. In the box next to curves is called a mask (if you don't know) and in this mask you paint back portions of your image you don't want to change. By selecting the brush type you want in the tool pallet and in the paint box, the color black. Now go to the image and paint back what you do not want to change. Also you can change the brush size with these bracket keys. (Smaller brush this key sign [ ). ( Bigger brush this key sign ] ). I hope this helps you out and if you have any questions please feel free to PM and if I can't answer. I will find the answer.

You have a wonderful day and keep up the awesome work, you have lots of potential, to be great.

This is a fun photo...it brought on a smile...which IMO makes it a good photo. Others may comment that the cat isn't looking through a window, but it doesn't matter to me.
