Cool! I know from experience myself how difficult it is to photograph black-furred animals: either the details of the fur become very harsh or washed out, or the details are completely lost in a black void. But I think you've captured the fur details perfectly here! It would be cool if the cat's eyes were a little wider open (although it certainly does make the cat look evil!) But, having a cat myself, I know how difficult models they can be!
Black cats fit a dark theme for this challenge. General photographic qualiity and clarity is good and the closeup composition is fine. Lighting is OK.
This woud be wrong but many viewers will see this as an attempt to slip a pet picture into the challenge and vote it lower.
There are a lot of white specks, particularly around the right eye, that will detract from the composition as will the out-of-place hair on the right near the whiskers. This image would score higher if those items could have been cleaned off.
The image shows some digitalization 'jaggie' effects on the cat's whiskers. The reflection of the flash in the cat's right eye is a slight distraction.
Great black. Nice detail in the texture. The flash in the cats left eye is unfortunate, but hard to avoid.
Here is how I broke down my score.
Content: 2/4
Composition: 1/2
Color/Light: 2/2
Clarity: 2/2
Total:7/10
Keep up the good work.
Given your tiitle, I was surprised that there was so much more to the image when I scrolled down. You could have easily cropped out the bottom half of the image and it might have resulted in an even more haunting image. Still a lovely image either way though.
