I love this image, but the lighting on the paw seems a bit strong. I'd try to tone that side down by reducing the saturation and possibly darkening it a bit.
You captured a great moment with this ferocious kitty, it's a very sharp, clear shot. The halo around her is very distracting though, a little overprocessed maybe.
without claws?? lol. Very nice shot. Great lighting! Colors are vivid but not overdone. Looks like a portrait shot except with a wonderful caught in action expression. Great job. I'm not voting but if I were I'd give it a 10
Wow! Torties are the hardest to shoot, what a great job cat-uing, uh capturing his essence, especially the fill flash on the foot (though I suspect a bit of dodging there as well.
