Cute idea and it has great potential. But the lighting is very harsh, wiping out all detail on the black cat. Black animals in general are so hard to photograph, that much I really know having 2 black cats myself and a couple of black horses at the barn! ;) THe use of flash in this shot caused the harsh light on the covered wagon top and the reflection in the cat's eyes and is very distracting. If you could diffuse the flash or bounce it so it's not so harsh that too would help. And maybe the angle of the shot, if you could get the cat to sit inside the wagon top and shoot more from the side? A 5

Your shot needs contrast and sharpening. Some clouds would have been good. 5.

Not so much "accidental" than "intentional"

Umm well I must admit I'mm scoring this one a little low. as for why I feel that way.. well it's not interesting. Its a couple of straight lines and some shadows. There is nothing to hold the veiwers attention for and period of time. Give us mountains in the background, some trees on either side.. anything.. I just feel that this image was way to plain and simple. BTW the center post is tilted. I didn't meen to sound mean.. But I feel that honest is the best tool for learning.

This could be much better with more contrast and sharpness, but very nice in it's simplicity nevertheless.

Black kitties don't photograph well do they! Wish you didn't use the flash, some backlighting would have done the job..

This is my secong go-around =) - Very creative idea! For some reason the cat looks like he/she was cut out and placed in the picture. Maybe too much post-processing? Also, the cat's coat could use a little more detail... a silver or gold reflector to the right would have looked nice.

Pets and flashes don't always mix. :) I like the set-up, though! Points for atmosphere!

The glare in the eyes is rather distracting in my opinion.
