This is Clyde, (our other cat is Bonnie). This is my first submission for DPChallenge, so I didn't do anything to it but get it to the 150KB file size. The light looks "harsh" to me, but I have no idea what to use to fix it, so I figured I'd post it "natural" and then see what feedback I got.

I think you've done a good job with Clyde - I know from trying to get good Gus pics that the flash reflects off him and he just looks like a big shine. Ambient light is usually best for this color of animal.
I do agree that the person in the background and the pattern on the cushions is distracting - would have been better on a solid color.
Clyde looks so relaxed and content!
To me this is more of a snapshot than a portrait. The person in the background and the sofa/cushion patterns are very distracting. That's unfortunate because I love his pose and expression!
Clyde is one cool cat, no doubt! I love the pose, the backgroun with the exception of the jeans in teh back on the right? Look like someone was sitting there? Also the flash is a bit much, maybe different lighting? A 6
