| Nice shot capturing both cats in a active storytelling scene!!!! Love how the foreground kitty seems to be 'sensing' the presence of the other cat on top of the CD bookcase. And the cat in the backdrop is in stealth mode:-) I wonder how many will not notice the cat in the background. Anyway this composition is a great 'story' to tell photo. It has a huge potential to rise out of the slightly above average category up into the stellar category if you remove some flaws. Your main subjects are the two cats so you really need to play them up more in this scene. Crop out the left portion such that the cat on the bookshelf would then be in the top left hand corner of the photo. It would make him much more visible as a key player in this story. Crop out the lower half and the right hand portion such that the foreground kitty's head and neck dominate the lower right hand corner of the photo. That will put the spotlight more on your main subject PLUS make the "I sense something" pose even more front & center. It also removes all the background objects that do nothing to compliment the action/story taking place. Lastly, color can be good and eyecatching but sometimes color hues can be distracting or overpowering. While the yellow walls paint the scene with warm tones they mostly offer nothing to the scene other than to distract attention away from the main subjects here. I really think the visual would have far greater impact in B&W with some nice dynamic tones in the light and shadow. |
