"The image suffered a bit from resizing, unfortunately."

Huh? Really? Huh? How so?

..."not sure if you did or not but it seems that you could use one more pass on the USM"

No, it does not need more sharpening. It is a shallow DOF image, 50mm @1.8, so not everything will be tack sharp. Perhaps this is what the "suffering" guy above was thinking? No understanding a narrow depth of field/focus?

"Perhaps this is what the "suffering" guy above was thinking? No understanding a narrow depth of field/focus?"

**************

Maybe, but here's another theory; some people, using LCD monitors, have set them to other-than-designed resolutions, and they cannot handle that. The result is messy artifacting, and it can REALLY mess up when you have a fine grid like that window screen.

So that may be your answer.

Cool shot, BTW; love it!

Nice tones and textures - Sophia's fur patterns stand out nicely against the square patterned background and the bokeh echoes the light and shadow interplay on her face.

I can't tell if that is textured glass or just a screen, but I really like how it works with the bokeh. Nice light here as well...nicely done!

I like the texture in the back very much. The image suffered a bit from resizing, unfortunately.

Nice kitty. I love the light and the "pose". It works very well in black and white.
