This is my second go-around =) - Cute kitty! Reminds me of my old kitty =) The photograph looks very pixellated, maybe it was saved at too low of a resolution or cropped too small. I also wish the ears were not cropped right there... either do not crop the ears, or crop the overall picture more. It also looks like his/her face was dodged to bring out more detail (or lightened too much). A great way to photograph dark/black animals is to use a gold reflector... it really brings out the detail in fur without having to post-process and lose important details. I hope this helps =)
