Oooooo, pretty black kitty! And you caught details! Good for you! That is the hardest thing to do, getting any kind of detail on a black animal. The light is a bit harsh though, need to diffuse that darn sun sometimes, LOL! The bottom is a real hot spot, this being an advance challenge, you could seperate that area and diffuse it just a bit so it's not fighting for my attention.

I love the eyes, very intent and it's not the sun that's making them look that intense, something has caught his/her eye! It's hard to tell if they are standing or sitting and while that might not seem a big deal, if you look to the right of the shot, the back end can be a bit of a distraction. Maybe a tighter crop on the right, taking the cat slightly off center, looser on the left if you have room so his/her eyes are leading you out of the shot. And then working that upper right area to make the back end darken so it's not a distraction.

I started this at a 5 but am bumping to a 6, if you work on this I would love to see the new picture.

Eyes look a little overexposed.

I spent significant time trying to figure out where this was also. Beautiful shot, but isn't Rock City in GA?

Great shot. Would have worked for the Hidden Faces challenge as well.

I think that a little extra sharpening would give this a bit more 'pop'.

This is beautiful! Excellent composition and details. It lacks the brighter tones IMO. 8
