::: Greetings from Critique Club :::
Hi, as requested, here is an indepth critique of your submission.
First Impression - the most important one:
"Not the image I wanted to do at first but I had to submit something to this challenge." In this case, the technique was cool, but subject was wrong. Maybe a stereo speaker would have worked better ;-)
Composition:
Move the cat's head to the top right corner of the shot and it'd like it better.
Subject:
Technique is getting in way of subject here. The photo is dominated by the zoom blur. A little less would have gone a long way.
Technical (Color, focus, and light):
Color: For what you were going for, more saturation and gradient mapped colors probably would have worked better.
Focus: A little shorter shutter speed would have given the cat's face a bit more focus.
Light: A tad over-exposed once again a little shorter shutter speed would have helped.
To grow its vote?:
Some voters kill cat/dog photos with DNMC votes. That's how it goes here at DPC, not that it SHOULD be that way. Also, the technique is over-powering in this photo. I like the technique of zoom blur, but tone it down a bit.
Hope to see more from you soon,
