 This is my first member challange so I just wanted to do something fun. I wanted to enter this photo of my cat Tigger because it was different. I know that it probably won't do well because it's not a great portrait of him, but I thought it was fun anyways!

To touch up the photo I adjusted the overall exposure and I cropped it a little closer to his face.

Hey there from the Critique Club

Camera Work/Technical: It looks like you got the primary focus in a nice area. You captured a good deal of detail and a great expression on the cat's face. The tongue is hilarious!

Lighting: You lighting is a bit lacking in this capture. The tongue falls of into the darkness and doesn't grab the eye's attention like it should. With a little more lighting on the bottom of the image, I think this one would have been a good deal better.

Composition/Content: I do like the tight composition idea, but I think it is a bit too tight for this image. It gives a crowded, almost anxious feeling to the image when it should feel more light-hearted and happy. I'd like to see a little more of the head and perhaps the ears.

My Opinion: Even with its flaws, this is better than a 4.anything. I think that it should have scored a bit better just based on the chuckle I got form it alone.

Thank you for the opportunity to provide a critique on your entry,
Eric
