Hi Christy

FIRST IMPRESSION:
It's the attack of the killer cat :)

COMPOSITION:
Pretty good...perhaps cropped too tight..background choice could have been better. :)

TECHNICAL:
I'll just repeat what everyone has already told you. You were too close to the cat, and therefore your DOF put the cat's face out of focus (BTW, I find your comment on the picture really cute)...the lighting is too harsh. :(

ARTISTIC:
Cliche? of course. But I think this could have been a better shot. I find it hysterical though, the look on the cat's face is priceless. (I'm starting to have mixed feeling about the photo :)

Cheers...and good luck in your future entries.

Comment by PaulMdx:
Composition: Could possibly have been a bit 'higher' moving the cat's eyes lower down in the pic.
Technical: Focus let this down big time. I'd suggest moving further away and having a smaller pic if necessary to get better quality. The focus of the b/g is excellent, which would have been great if it the cat was at that distance.
Overall impression:Could have been a good one focus lets it down a lot. 4

Sorry, but this shot doesn't look very nice to me. O.K., your cropping is IMHO well done and thereby you are dirceting the attention of the viewer to the face / eyes of your cat. But unfortunately the face is extremely out of focus. Personally I think, that it is impossible to achieve an interesting lighting by using the cameras flash. Nevertheless, good luck with your next submission :-)

I just love this shot. The focus is pretty bad, but guess what? This is one of my favourite shots this week. It is just too funny. I just love the look on his face ... looks like he's wearing glasses or something. Thanks for the chuckles. Jacko. 10

I'm sorry but this photo doesn't apeal to me. AT ALL. The face of the cat is VERY overexposed ( use less flash, or stand back more). It also looks like the focus point is beoynd the cat (the white wall infact). To aliveate this, you could turn on the macro function (if your camera has it), or you could hold a magnifing glass next to your lens to "focus" on the subject. 1

lol! That's the funnniest expression I've ever seen on a cat! Real shame that the focus is on the cat's body.

Bizzare, it looks half cat and half mouse (ironic).

Out of focus and outright scary.
