Nothing like a good black cat picture. (S)he reminds me of my Frank. The facial expression is perfect for this challenge...very ominous.

This has a very nice DOF and focus. I like the slight desaturation.

Have you ever noticed that all black cats looks alike? This one is a dead ringer for my childhood pet, who ran away and is presumed dead. Thomas, is that you?

For me, black cats are not that easy to expose for but you have done a wonderful job here in decent light. I would like to have seen the cat's right side with a little light to help define him more, as it is now he seems a little off balance being that one side is so dark. I do love the face and expression on him.

I expected a lot of unimpressive black cat pictures, and well, it's nice to instead see one done well.

Good work.

Nice kitty portrait. It needs a touch of something. Maybe play with levels a bit more to make the cat pop black but keeping the highlights of the hair detail.
