this is a nice shot, the lines of the gate draw the eye to the bg (which is good) and then the colored cat bring the eye back to the subject. The only critique is a slight rotation so the lines are level. nice title and beautiful cat :) 7
I like the subtlety. Someone critiqued mine saying there wasn't enough difference in the colour and black and white and this one has much less and I love it. Great focus on the kitty. 7
