I hate it when my cat kills birds, I try to keep her happy, she now really just drinks from the birdbath, but look out, she is still a cat by nature.

Greets from the Critique Club!

Hi Denise

I really like the concept behind the series of images you put together here, but I feel it misses the mark in a number of ways.

First I'd like to critique the pictures themselves: The best image of the lot is the third one. I like the lighting on the cat and the stone wall and think that makes a particularly interesting shot. The first and second images I'm not nearly as fond of... In the first the cat and birdbath are too isolated in center of the frame for it to effective. On the scond I'm not really fond of the blue bag against the green grass and I don't feel it goes well with the other two pictures.

Now for the composition: Olive green border == ick in my book. I think a black border would have suited this far better and really provided contrast to the white on the cat in each of the pictures. Also, these are all horribly small! You didn't use the full 640 pixel width available to you and the picture entire is only 60k. You can't fit much detail in that way, and that's really what you need to show these shots off. As of now the viewer can't get a good idea of how good or bad the photography is!


Good luck in the next challenge!

Good story here. I think a lot of these pics sort of missed the boat on that one. I don't really care for the heavy green border though.

i love the sequence, but the focus seems soft, the photos are not quite sized/aligned right, and the pea soup green background? the photo on the right says it all ;-)

Really cute series and it tells a story, too. The bird bath scene is distinguishable, but can't really see the bird (it's the brown spot, right?). Cat Food scene is so very cute and the cleanup, just too cat-like. All three scenes are sharp, but so small the detail is difficult to see. I try to stay away from frame comments, but I'm sorry, this color isn't really pleasant (no score affect). 7 Rob the Swash

I'm not sure whether it's compression or really your focus, but all of the photos look blurry. Cute subject... but not really interesting... I also don't care for the color or the layout... try getting down on the cats level... really get in it's face. Go for bigger photos, and don't use so much border.

It is really hard to see the detail in the pictures, but the sequence is nicely put together...

This looks so cute! I wish these images were in focus.
