Hazel was sitting at the bird feeder. Watching. And waiting. She thinks she can catch the birds. :)

Tons of dodging and burning, spot edited some dirt on the floor, contrast, curves, levels, and probably some cropping. I don't really remember everything...

I really struggled with which image to submit. I have a feeling this will get bombed, (just like the last 3 or 4 miserable images I've tried to enter) but I really like this one, so here goes. :(

My favorite part of this image is the tiny wag of the tip of her tail. It gives just a hint of passing time and the patient watching that cats are so good at. Beautifully processed, and I think I like the empty space at the bottom. I don't know why, but I do.

Dramatic lighting. It bring my attention to the subject. I like the overall warm feeling to the image. The lines look crooked. Looking at it carefully, I can see the wall edge is aligned, but other lines somehow don't which made it look crooked.

Personally, I would crop some of the bottom in this frame which doesn't add much to the image. that should also move the center divide line further down and help the composition.

I like the lighting and you did a great job with this.

if you have any questions, feel free to contact me via pm

thanks,
Gaurawa

Great drama in the shot. I would love to see a bit more fill lighting to bring out some of her coat and a little crooked but not horribly distracting.

IMHO it feels a little tightly cropped at the top and too much at the bottom, but I love the lighting here.
