This is a beautiful cat. You can see teh texture on the ground and you can tell its a rough windy road.

Perfect cat calendar photo. Clear, colorful, and good proportions for a monthly calendar (I can't believe how many entries seemed to ignore that last bit). Nice composition and DOF, too.
Kitty looks a bit fierce here! Anyway, a very high score from me.
NOTE: Just back to bump this up.

beautiful kitty..the bright greens of the negative space almost glare a bit and distract from his beauty. great details and clarity in cat

That cat is a badass. I love the saturation on the eyes, nose, and greens.

Nice capture - very good DOF - but highly over saturated.

Nice. I think it's the twin of my cat!

Incredible eyes. Background green is a bit too harsh and draws my eye from the main subject.

Nice use of depth of field to isolate your subject and he is well placed in the frame.

I'm not usually a huge cat photo fan but this is one of the excellent one IMO. Such vivid eyes and love the contrasting colours. 8
