Kitty! I actually really liked this shot. I'm a cat person by nature. The thing that actually makes this work is the negative space. For me it gives kitty a sense of scale.

And I liked the title too. :)

I realized now that an better crop would be done. That is the best reward from challenges: knowledge, learning and consciousness.

Thanks all for comments.

The name of this 3 month lady is Mimi (me-mee), given by my seven year old daughter. Thanks for comment.

I had absolutely no purpose to insult nobody. I was just kidding with the challenge subject. Thanks for your comment about the photograph.

Great detail on the floor, but the cat seems a little soft. I like it though.

Good light, somewhat questionable crop, good composition, awful impact and subject. It's just another cat, so what.

Nice take on the challenge. Suggestions: crop or change angle to not include the edge of tile on upper left, take out the shadow on the top somehow. Otherwise an excellent image.

good framing, excellent light levels - bright but not blown out or over contrasted. Crisp and clear, but not harsh. Excellent use of negative space. 9. Good luck!

I missed "cat" being in the entry criteria...

very sharp. I like how the texture of the floor doesn't steal the subject from the cat

Simplicity makes this shot. Nice job (and I don't even like cats). 7

what a sweety.

i always sucker for cats and this subject is 1 cutie

but, there is a shadow which is a distraction and a small part of a wall also minor distraction a better crop or a crop in general could have helped add to the pic.- just keep it in mind next time.

Nice composition and observation of interesting light. The bit of architecture in the upper left corner is a bit of a distraction in the overall theme of the image. It may have been worthwhile to crop that bit out...
