I like the harsh and directional lighting on the cat, especially the effect it has on the eyes. The shadow even gives the cat a tail ! Background is not evenly lit and it appears that someone's shadow is visible.
Very good contrast.The shadows on the cats' back and the light on the cats' front really help to bring out the beautiful curves. I like the wood grain on the cat. Depth of field is good. Great separation of foreground and background. Hightlights in the cats' eye is very cool.
Lovely study of form and light. Great tones - nothing too dark or too light. Great lighting, especially bringing out the cat's eye against the darkness. 8
