Looks like some harsh lighting, and that is what is holding this pic back some for me. Of course, with the kittens between your legs, there was no opportunity to adjust lighting. Otherwise it is a good capture of a cute moment.

beautiful kittens - the light seems a bit too intense on their eyes

Oh how sweet. Love all the little blue eyes looking up, in wonder.

The direct flash spoils this shot. An offboard flash or bounching the flash of a reflector would have been more effective. 6

The flash/lighting opaqueness in their eyes troubles me in this otherwise cute and well composed shot.....5

Flash a bit strong and maybe some diffused light would have helped here especially for their eyes. BUT...this is really a cute pic. I like it

Kittens are of course darling. This looks like it was taken with a flash - or if not, at least with harsh lighting, therefore it has a snap shot quality, which doesn't make this a very good image.

light is quite harsh...would have been better to snuggle them in a nice blanket as the foot looks distracting...the eyes look a little creepy rather than the usual cute because of the flash...

kinda just looks like a snapshot...

Cute kittens, no doubt! This would have been a much stronger shot on a better backdrop, and without the direct flash, though.

They look petrified - such great eyes!!!

What big eyes! A cute photo.

Sorry this just looks like a quick snapshot to me. With better lighting and a solid backdrop this pose could work nicely.

Very cute, they all look like they have different personalities with the top one being the curious one, the one to the right being the oddball and the one at the front being the mean angry one!

Photographically, it's not outstanding, the front light is harsh and the surrounding items are just distracting.
