Cropped a little too tightly. Other than that, I like the shape and reflections.

This meets the challenge, but I think it's missing the "wow" factor.

I really am not crazy about the perspective this was shot at, or the harsh shadows, or the clipped off front paw.

Crop is a little tight. I wonder if you could have made more of a feature of the shadow.

INHO, harsh shadow is distracting and the background could be lighter.

I wish the framing allowed for the entire subject to be visible--maybe that wasn't possible...

This is a great topic for this challenge subject, and the strong lighting works well. But I think you could have done a litle more with it.


It's a shame that the paw is clipped off over on the right. Maybe a lower angle, showing more of the cat's facial features, would have worked better. And maybe on a more reflective surface.

Cool picture. The angle looks good, not usually my thing.

Like you, I love the diagonals! I think that it aids this photo (personally). Puts emphasis on "lines" rather than the fact that it is a horizon shot (which we see many of on DPC).

I guess the tilt is there to emphasize the lines? It doesn't work for me. Nice tones and details.
