I forgot to mention that the light colored thingie (I don't know what it is) at the lower right hand corner is distracting in the image. Because it captures the eye, it steals attention away from the pretty kitty. The image would be better without whatever that is.

I like the warm lighting and lines very much. That piece of wood adds to the image by drawing attention to the face. The DOF also concentrates the viewer's attention on the face. The focus on the face is then right on. The kitty's soft, very nice expression goes along with the relaxed pose. However, I would have preferred to see a slightly different crop that either shows either more or less of the ears. IMHO, the current crop chops the ears at a distracting point and draws the eye away from the beautiful face. Overall, however, this is a lovely portrait of a very pretty cat.

I like this very much also, B. Shiloh looks either intent on something other than you, or is giving you the "I can't believe you're bothering me like this" look. I like this tight crop - to me there's just enough of the ears and the front paw included, and I like the curve of the chair (or whatever that is).

Thank you Clay, for your input. I cropped the ears to give slightly more emphasis to being behind the fence. He put his own foot on the rail to help enhance the effect of his problem with where he was.

I really like the lighting. It gives a warm feel to the photo. The focus is spot on with the subject (cat's face) with just enough depth of field to keep most of the face in focus. I would liked to have seen more of the cat's ears included but not knowing what was beyond this may have been the best choice. Overall I think this works well as a portrait of the cat.
