Oooooo, pretty black kitty! And you caught details! Good for you! That is the hardest thing to do, getting any kind of detail on a black animal. The light is a bit harsh though, need to diffuse that darn sun sometimes, LOL! The bottom is a real hot spot, this being an advance challenge, you could seperate that area and diffuse it just a bit so it's not fighting for my attention.
I love the eyes, very intent and it's not the sun that's making them look that intense, something has caught his/her eye! It's hard to tell if they are standing or sitting and while that might not seem a big deal, if you look to the right of the shot, the back end can be a bit of a distraction. Maybe a tighter crop on the right, taking the cat slightly off center, looser on the left if you have room so his/her eyes are leading you out of the shot. And then working that upper right area to make the back end darken so it's not a distraction.
I started this at a 5 but am bumping to a 6, if you work on this I would love to see the new picture. |
