Greetings from the Critique Club :)

I like the clarity of focus on this shot, but the sepia toning seems to drag the image down a bit. It makes the image very dark and almost bland.

The overal sepia color of the shot also emphasizes the green plant sprouting from the top of the cat's head. Perhaps a different angle on the shot might have solved that particular problem.

Overall, it's a nice shot. Clear and nicely focused. The composition kudos would have to, in all honesty, go to the person who arranged the stuffed cat.

Is this stuffed? That's a disturbing expression there.

Great pose... the poor thing almost looks stuffed! (Wait a minute... is it? :) Nice color tones, focus is nice; composition and perspective work well. Nicely done!

don't you love it when they sit still for so long? makes life much easier. :)

Wow, you've frozen this frame so well the bobcat looks like a stuffed one on display. The many tones of brown are amazing here. The only bothersome part is the cactus sticking out of its right ear.

This guy looks stuffed. Is he a museum exhibit?
04/23/2003 04:19:34 PM
Do stuffed fauna count? Well why not. But it is easier to photograph something already nicely posed and well lit.

Stuffed?

Is that a stuffed cat?

The bobcat is beautiful (is that the same as a lynx?). One thing is very unfortunate, and you already know it and had no control over it, and that's the busy green plant spouting out of his head. I like his environment and the far background almost looks like a semi-abstract painting. Is it? I have the sensation he is indoors. The light (tungsten?) is too warm overall and rather dark in the top right area 7 Journey
