Just a bit dark to me. Seems like it has potential though. Maybe if the cat was thrown on a rooftop? ;-)

bumping up. He's a cute cat and this looks like it was a difficult picture to take.

Needs a tighter crop at top and right.

Great capture. Very nice DOF. I think it's great that you put in a "pet type" picture since they seem to get voted down in most challenges. A feline fancier will definitely relate to the "look" more than the "dog" people. I may of cropped it so the eye was more "rule of third" to the bottom left and that would give a larger gazing area if possible. I would use this for a desk top if it were my cat. Good luck. 9

Cute... I think duotone and cropped closer to the face (e.g., from the eyes to just beyond the whiskers), plus more sharpness, would have made this a great picture.

This is wonderful!!!!!! Love the whiskers and the eyes. Great clarity for such low light. BRAVO I'm bumping up to a 10 - man this is just killer!!!! Congratulations on a terrific image.
