Hi Erin. As you realize by the comments below, you were likely voted down due to the weak perspecvtive. This is not to say that the image is not a good one but it is simply a head-on picture of a cat from above. Your focus is good and the blurring DOF worked well to soften the background. The colors are subtle and the tones are good. You have portrayed a "fluffy kitty" quite well. On the other side, the shot is rather......boring?.......unless you are of course a cat lover. If you are, there is no such thing as a bad photo of a cat. I think a good part of the low vote has to do with the negativity people feel toward submitting pet photos in challenges. The voting matrix likely resulted from this sentiment as the photo is not really that bad. I hope that helps and I encourage you to explore some different and unusual subjects and perspectives.

Anybody who would subject their cat to a pink mohawk deserves a 10. I'll give you a 9.

What a cute kitty. (actually a mohawk would be on top of her head - LOL) Cute expression. She's just gazing at you. Love the mouth and whiskers!
