 Stray cat appeared at my back door. He had the most intoxicating eyes ever! I fed him and he went on his way. If he comes back, I am hoping to find him a home.

Very nice shot. Sharp and clean. Without the DOF, desaturation, and contrast, this would have been a very ordinary, boring shot. But this is a great example of how contrast can be used artistically to mute the distractions and draw your attention directly to the cat's eyes. 8!

The lost and intense expression of this cat really comes across well with your use of high contrast lighting. 7.

Looks like he's going to jump on me. There are a few ordinary pet shots so far. This is an exception. Very nice.
