This is a poorly lit and composed shot. The harsh lighting denies any feeling of texture and the composition manages to lose all the aspects of the subject that are interesting (fur, eyes, whiskers etc) Experiment more with lighting and exposure to see what works better.
Would have been better with less flash, as it is now it is very bright and overexposed in many places. The composition is very good, I like that the cat is not centered in the picture. There is nice texture but alot of the detail of the cats face is lost due to the brightness of the picture.
Poor. Badly over-exposed and dreadfully lit anyway. very small, but even so the quality of the image remains distinctly dodgy. No real sense of feeling at all.
This image is magical. I don't know what you did to achieve the effect (and don't care) it's just beautiful. But, oh dear, that border! Away with it! Makes it hard to see the magic.
A close up shot would've been a whole lot better. The thick black frame is distracting along with the shine of the animals coat. Check out the first place winner from the last texture challenge and that would give you idea of what I am talking about. 2
