HI! Greetings from the Critique Club!

I'm sure you've read your comments below, and I agree with all of the compliments. It would appear that this excellent image perhaps did not comply with the challenge to some members. Too bad, because this is a fine image.

As I noted below, pet images don't usually thrill me unless creative and done exceptionally well, like yours. Through wonderful lighting and point of view, you've captured the essence of this cat very well. I think the extreme brightness of the white augments this view and enhances the idea that the cat is lounging around in the sun.

The point of view is unusual, creative and very effective at showing us the personality of this cat, and perhaps all cats. You also have very soft lines here, which add to the peacefulness and wonderful lazy feeling.

Exceptional work! Thanks for letting me look.

David

I would call this more of a close up than a macro. good light and focus

I generally don't like pet shots, but you've managed to really capture part of this animal's personality in an artistic and engaging and intriguing way. So 10.

Interesting shot. I really like it. I wish it wasn't quite so high key, but aside from that it has a great theme and is extremely well taken. - 9

I love cats and on the positive side - I don't think I'ver ever seen a photo of just the back half (original), but there's a reason for that, much less to look at. The glare on the white fur is harsh. Focus on the feet is pretty good and the color of it's feet pads is nicely pink. 6 Swash

Is this considered a macro?

cute shot!

This is good but I don't see it as a macro. If you were focused on _one_ paw then yes. The light here is really nice.

Conveys the meaning well. Bit overexposed on the highlights, but good.
