This is my cousins new kitten. His name is Finnegan.
Light is from floor to ceiling windows to camera left. My Aunt has these nice wood shutters that I opened to get all the light in. The horizontal lines that you see in the background are those shutters and I thought I thought they would make for a less distracting background than the things behind. Some people liked it, some didn't.
I got quite a few good shots, but trying to keep Finnegan in that box was tough. This was actually my first shot taken and I think it's the best of the bunch.
Post Challenge: Oh, so close to top ten. Oh well. I think the score could have suffered some because of how many "cat/kitten in a box" pictures there were. My last two challenges were 6.4+ so I'm super happy.
Thanks to all those who took the time to comment.

Yucky title! Soft processing suits the kitten nicely. Wish there were a wee bit less clutter in the background; I might've just gone for a tighter crop.
OK, I aint a kitty lover, and not a big fan of pet shots in general, but this is TOTALLY awesome.. we should see this in the top 5 at the very least, maybe top 3.. could even win it.. great work. 10
