 My roomate got his girlfriend a kitten and I got to play with it. Snapped this unexpectedly after he finished drinking.

Not too much editing, save for bumping the exposure a lot in raw conversion, then bumped contrast, USM, save for web. Oh and some de-sat to get the white whiter.

Strong composition. I agree with scarbrd. I'm surprised it didn't do a little bit better, but still, cat picks don't score well very often. Congrats on one of the stronger ones.

I'm a sucker for cat pics. I recommend you take more advantage of the size allowed. When an image is too small it looks like you're hiding something. Good luck!

Not sure I get the point here. A litle noise and to small in my opinion
