I thought about doing a shot like this! :)
the composition is ok here--i like the fact that the person is in the right of the frame with his bags taking up the left side--i dont know if i really like his head being cut off--but i would have to see a shot with the head in to know for sure! i probably would have cropped out the chair leg on the left tho, it kind of takes away from the sense of emptiness that the title and photo seem to portray. technically, it seems fine, although the small size makes it hard to tell--i see you took this shot with an iso of 500? that seems huge! but my camera doesnt even go that high so what do i know! :)

Comment by Gekker:
beautiful cat, and pic. odd crop though. Maybe take a bit more off the top and not so narrow. just my opinion though.

Very good cat portrait. Challenge well met. Good color. Close framing, but it works. Great details. Score upgrade from 6 to 8 (huge jump for me). Swash

This is a beautiful cat. Please let us see more of it. This is a fantastic close-up, but I want to see it all. Perfect focus. The fur is so natural looking. Great job. It's an 8. The whole cat might have been a 10. PTL

Comment by dodobird:
I originally put this down for a 6, then later while making the comments I had to raise it. The expression you captured in the cat is priceless. The whole picture is in focus and cropped perfectly. At first I didn't like the crop job..I prefer to see more of the animal but with this crop it really lets you enjoy the cat's expression.8.

Take my comments for what they are worth for I am just a novice with a new camera. Dodo

I love the rich colors and contrasting white in this cat. Nice cropping too.

I like it: it's not one of the usual cat-pictures because of the good cropping. Fits well to the title too.
