nice and simple. Appears oversharpened to my eye

The focus looks sharpest on the line, and the birds face and body appear to be slightly OOF, which confuses my eyes as to subject. Keeps leading me down to the line. Over all I'd say the comp is good, but that flaw overrides that. better color in the sky would have been nice. 5

You have a lot of what is usually jpg compression artifacts. You may be compressing too high, your file size is only 29k so you had room to go. Try little amounts of compression at a time. There is some threads in the forums about this if need be. Your colors also seem a little dull, check if a slight curve adjustment can get you a better sky or see about a circular polizer. Very nice placement of the subject though, you're right on with this.

I really don't know if there are exceptions to the rule of thirds, but (I'm assuming the head is the primary subject here) the majority of the "content" is in a different third. I guess that's ok. we'll call it the "rule of birds" ;-)

Comment by jpeters:
This would work best with a larger depth of field. It would be more believable since both the cat and the hand would be in focus.

Pity that your hand wasnt in focus too, would have given it a more realistic effect. Good luck.

Comment by desertdoc:
The big hand is also blurry and looks like it could stand to be washed. Is that cat tethered to a cinderblock? Did you tie it there so you could take this picture? How odd.

I really like how you blured the hand... it adds depth to a short distance... cool.
Good luck!
