i know it's overexposed a hair. i dont really mind. i also tried this in monochromes but preferred color.
i had to do a lot of luring with her favorite 'beatle on a string' as well as some pet psychology to get this shot to happen. It would have prolly been easier if I'd had a helper but I was doing both the 'cat work' and the shooting, lol

Sometimes soft focus is fine. It is very difficult with cats, to get crisp action shots. A crisper focus would have been better but so what! Considering all the work you put into this, you did a fine job. You certainly pulled off the idea.
Your perspective is nice, and everything is composed well. What makes the whole image believable, is that a key is depressed. That really works!
The pink of her ears, and the wood tones, add warmth to the picture.
Over all, I like it.
I love this shot. The focus and lighting works perfect in this case. The cropping also makes for some great composition. Very well done, I hope to see this do well...10
Exposure and Composition are great. IMO it would add to it if the top was cropped less to see more of the keys. and of course(as is proably getting knocked) the DOF but then again for me the jury is out on that. Not sure if it really needs the cat in focus. Thiek--8
Focus on the keys and kitties paw is very nice. I do not mind at all that the kitty is not in focus, that way, it draws attention to the kitty and the keys. I like the angle and framing/cropping as well. lighting is good, maybe a TAD harsh on the left side of the kitties face, but nothing serious. Made me smile. Good luck in the challenge.
Nice job and he plays beautifully. I wonder how this would have looked with just the paw on the keys. It would have taken the head out which is slightly out of focus. Good job.
The cat's head is out of focus and the bottom end of the keyboard is perhaps a bit over-lit. The challenge was to "Make your viewer laugh out loud" which I'm afraid this photo doesn't succeed at - not for me anyway. Plus it features a pet and so is doomed to almost certain failure here.
