Greetings from the Critique Club.
Hi Kat,
This is, as has already been noted, an extremely cute shot. Yahtzee of course makes the shot. Those eyes may be closed, but still the shot conveys a wonderful kitty contentment. Your setting and POV effectively communicate that the source of the contentment is the ducky.
I like your crop - just enought to convey all that you need. The light on Yahtzee is also lovely. My onle major gripes are the various distractions in the image. Specifically - the line of the blanket behind Yahtzee's back, the pick patches of blanket in front of Yahtzee's face, and the slight blow-out on the ducky's head. The first two would be easy to resolve with a bit of setting (is it really easy to pursuade a cat to sleep where you want it to?). The blow-out on the ducky can be corrected with the lighting. In addition I think the image could do with the slightest touch of USM.
It is my hope that these insights are helpful and constructive. Please feel free to PM me if you have any questions regarding this critique. And please remember to mark it "Helpful" if you found it so. Good luck with future challenges.
Cheers
Paul |

Nice shot. I hate cats, just a subjective pet peeve, so for me to give an 8 on this means you really pulled of a nice shot.
The pink spots on the rug/towel/carpet beneath the head detreact a bit, but overall it's a really good shot. You may want to have cloned out the spots and a bit more of the flash relfection off the ducks face. |
