I wanted to make sure to get back to this shot since you had commented that you only got one comment! I didn't make it to your shot during the challenge because it was one of my 8's. I really like the shot, the house (I really like the house) but there were a few distracting elements that kept it from being a perfect score. First, the green leaf in the upper left corner, small detail but you probably got knocked for it by more than one voter. Two, while a great shot composition wise and I personally like the angle I'm betting several people knocked you down a point or two for the angle. I personally think that cats should always be above us, LOL! Just kidding but I do like that. Last but certainly not least was the lighting. Black animals can be so difficult to photograph, as the slave to two black cats myself and there are 4 black horses in the barn where I work I know the challenges faced with them. Getting details is extremely difficult if the lighting isn't just right. While I can see the eyes and end of nose very clearly the rest of the cat comes across as one big ball of black fur. Some detail in the fur would have really helped this shot overall. Hope these comment help! ;)

Good contrast choice with that background, but still a bit too dark on the cat to get much detail. Black cats are very hard tophotograph.
