| Very sweet! I love it and it should have won 1st place but that is my thought. I love it and I think it should have deserved a higher place. I LOVE IT! |

Thanks everybody for the nice comments and criticism. This was a great Christmas gift.
I agree, the lighting could have been better and I also wish the cat looked straight in her eye, but to tell the truth, he was not very willing to pose and so I had only a few attempts :) nevertheless, we have a very affectionate relationship with him, but the thing is he decides the moments... Great thanks to my elder daughter for posing (she was willing, lol).
I did not add comments at the time of submitting, so here are the details:
Lighting is fully natural, mid afternoon, east looking window, cloudy but not overcast. I fastened a semi-transparent plastic sheet to the window to get the homogenous backdrop.
Prost processing steps, other than crop and resize were:
- Neat Image to get rid of some noise patterns in the background
- Sepia Toning
- Adjusted Brightness higher a bit

| A great image with lighting that generates a very warm glow in the viewer. The composition is at once superior because of the duos facial expression. 8 |

| Awesome picture! The black and white . . . or cepia tone makes it really neat looking. This is another one of my 10's! Good job! |

nice shot, it is really charming. i like the sephia tone.
i guess this will achieve more dept if the cat is looking to the lady's face or directly to her eyes. |

| This is so good, so sharp and well-composed. I with it were either a little lighter on the woman or a little darker, I can't decide - but I love the picture. |

| This photo has a very special atmosphere. The hue you chose for the background goes well with the cat's fur and the model;s skin. What is the background, by the way? Also notable is the crescent reflection in the cat's eye. |

| Great. The duotone works well, so does the negative space. I'd have mirrored the picture (my eyes ar used to start at the upper-left, like most European, American etc eyes). This would have given a stronger effect to the guiding lines. I like how the picture is split into two triangles, whether that was intended or not, it look very harmonic. The soft focus adds to this. I guess you earn a 10 :) |

| There are only 2 pictures I consider 10's (not that I'm an expert!) in this challenge, and this one is definitely one of them. *Gorgeous* |

| I like the idea. I would like it better if there were more detail in the faces. Maybe a bit brighter and sharper. |
