Ahh, I like the idea, very much! Actually, this is an excellent composition. I am not sure it quite works for "minimalism", as there are (at least) two points of interest, but it's a great idea. Also, the background is so beautiful that it takes away attention from the cat. Hmmmm. You should try many more pictures at this place :) ~7
Almost works. I'm just too drawn to the interesting door--even though it's out of focus--to really feel the cat is the "strong point of the image". Maybe if the cat was more in contrast to the background.
It's great that you were able to capture the cat looking at something like cats do when they see an interesting object.
There's an unusual color cast to the image; this makes it look unnatural.
The depth of field is very effective in this photograph, the tone maybe seems a little on the cool side, or maybe its a cold cloudy dank day...very nice.
Sorry. I do not believe this meets the challenge criteria. The door seems to take control of the photo. I almost think the #7 (due to its color) is stronger than the cat.
The cat blends in. My perception. After all the emails and comments on the forums is your belief still the same? Am I wrong? My question- Is my perception of the complete description of this challenge right or wrong?
The background is a bit too busy. It needed to either be even further out of focus or a different location would have been better. Like how the cat pops out, but it is lost too much in the background.
I really like this photograph. The color appears a little overexposed and the focus is quite soft. Like the composition, subject. Title is great. Has high emotional impact.
Nice shot.Nice dof, the background is blurred enough to focus the attention on your subject, the cat, but not too much to lose the overall "story" of the shot. Good composition. Nice job.
Now I'm no cat lover but the thing which immediately caught my eye was the number 7 - theres some real potential up there. The cat - well nice enough but its not stunning enough to really make the image zing
