8 - Nice colors and lighting. Like the candy cane to be a little more subtle, but mainly for this Challenge. Fractions harper on the eyes/nose, yet still retaining the good dof and softeness around too.
Very cute. I like the composition and colors. Some spots on the white hair are pretty close to blown out. Maybe a little softer/diffuse light could maintain more detail in the white hair.
Market this to a card company and I think you could make a chunk of money. Very pleasing image. Good detail and clarity as well as soft where it needs to be. Just a nice capture overall. Bumping up to 8.
What a sweet and adorable shot! This cute and cuddly kitten is all snuggled up with a candy cane. The picture truly does speak "Sweet Dreams"; you made an correct choice with the title. Two critiques on the shot. The whites of the kitten and the cane are an off white/cream white. A brighter white would really pop off that red - perhaps playing with color levels and/or brightness & contrast would help the colors really pop off the page. Next an smaller aperature 8 and up alongside a long shutter speed will help with the depth of field. It will help capture all the lovely details you have now but it would have all of the candy cane in sharp focus. The part of the candy cane that is closest to us is slightly out of focus. Nonetheless this is a great portrait. 8
