This is my Ragdoll cat, Titus.
The challenge was significantly more difficult than I had imagined because of keeping reflections off the window.

Nice; I think it might have been improved a little by straigtening (the window tilts left) and noise reduction--there's a lot of color noise in this.

This is such a beautiful picture, got this dreamy feeling to it, very moody, one of my favorites in this challenge, good luck - 10

Nice portrait. Good catchlight in the cat's eye. The fur tends to have a yellowish hue - which detracts for me.

I can't believe I'm giving a cat photo a 10, but this is such a great picture. The soft focus, expression, hint of blue in his (her?) eye, and the title all come together here.

Nice cat shot, but several things let it down. The noise levels are terrible, possibly caused because it is too dark. This has also affected the saturation levels, which seems a but washed out to me. The shot is not sharp enough. It's a shame the windowframe isn't parallel to the edge of the picture. The cat's expression is great though.

High noise levels blemish this equisite cat portrait. Also, leveling of the window frame within the borders of the image is a bit haphazard, and I would have preferred to see the top and left sides of the window frame too. Still, I don't think I've ever loved a cat picture as much as this. Excellent capture!

Nice and soft composition. I just had aligned the windows lines with the frame.
There seems to be some grainy compression artifacts too. And some spots could be cloned out.

A very evocative image, and one of my favorites of thi challenge. I really like the tones and the softness, as well as the cat's expression. Good work!

Charming picture of a sweet looking cat. Wish it was a bit clearer or less "noisy"... Glad you had your camera ready to capture the image.
