The enemy indeed! Love the dramatic crop! The light that you caught in the cat's eyes really make this shot for me. Fantastic.

You did a great job for what you were after. Those are beautiful eyes, but it seems like it may have a little bit to much contrast. Did anyone else mention that?

center of interest good,
clarity despite cropping quite good.

Comment from Old Redeye
I totally agree with your decision to crop tightly. Excellent lighting and exposure. Excellent pov and dof. Great composition and focus to get the detail in the fur and whiskers, as well as the eyes, which are a very good focal point.

You made a good choice photographing this cat close up like this. We are immersed into all the interesting detail in the eyes and nose, along with the cats beautiful colors.

Wow! what detail. Could be just a little sharper. Probably never notice in a print though. Nice!

Comment from The Condition Black
Nice! You were right about this one being more artistic. Love that super-close range style. Really throws the viewer into the scene. And eyes are always a great thing to capture.

Good series! Again, much more dynamic than the typical shot for this subject matter. Well done!

Comment from P W RYAN
Of the two photos you have posted of this kitty, this one for me has far more initial impact and visual interest. It also shows you really thought about the composition when you cropped it to fill the frame. Well done.
