Contrast is extremely good. The slight grainy effect works. The whites really pop out in this shot. Especially like the whiskers of the cat. The shining highlights on the leather helps to give it some interest. I think this is your best yet. I gave it a "10". I would have love to add extra points for going with the cat/kitten subject, but scoring only goes up to "10".
WOW! thank you everyone for the compliments and the scoring! I'm looking at those 10's and 9's and saying, "THEY LIKED IT!"
Tweety is my subject, she's a shelter kitty and she's the sweetest thing, she let me pose her and take over 150 shots over 3 different set ups. She got a can of tuna for her trouble. :)
wonderfull light and tone. Bold move using the kitten especaly with resent forum rants. would have liked to see her "IN" one of the boots but it's tough to get the kitties to cooperate.
