Greetings from the Critique Club...

First off, let me say this fits the challenge pretty well. As for the image itself, the composition is what strikes me the most. It's really quite unique but better than that it just works. It conveys boredom and solitude which goes well with the title so good job there.

Technically, there are some issues namely the lighting. The bright background is fine but the lighting on the cat doesn't transition well. For example the cat's back there is this "banding effect" going on. It goes from bright white to gray to pure black in three steps. Maybe you wanted the harsh look but a more seemless transition would have probably gone over better with the voters. Also, if you had more light cascading over the cat you'd have captured more detail in the fur.

That's it. The image is good and as far as I'm concern this could be used for a varity of things (i.e. post cards) especially with that solid black area which could be used for text. So just take these suggestions as ones geared toward doing better at DPC where detail is king. :)
