A really nice capture of this cute kitten :)
Really like the warm colors and composition. The highlights on near/on the ears it just a little hot. If you have done any contrast adjustments and use Photoshop.. try to create a layer copy of the original, do all the adjustments and then with the Eraser tool (set opacity and fill to ~50%) erase away the hot spots so just a little detail is left, or to your liking. I find when adjusting the contrast it can sometimes blow out the highlights when there was none in the original. Sometimes it works well though.

Awfully cute! If you sharpen just the eyes a bit I think it would enhance the image. shu

Beautiful kitten, whiskers and hair nicely sharp. I'ts also good that his/her face in the shadows, wasn't overly darkened. The bokeh of the BG really works also. - Henry
