So like a cat to find the patch of sunlight to lounge in! This is sweet :-)

I little blown out, but I see what you are doing here. I have 2 dogs and a cat, and they follow the sun around all day just like that.

I really like this shot. Shows an understanding of the importance of competing elements (light in this case). Great capture.

This is a very fun image. I really enjoy the light and the bit of the cat laying in it. I am just wondering if the light just happened on the cat and it was just sleeping? or if it went to lay in the light and the light moved? Anyway, don't think I have anything to really say about this other then very nice job.

Oh wow - this is fantastic! My first impression upon seeing the thumbnail was that this one is a keeper, and opening the photo confirms it :-) What a creative way to show something we've all seen many times in a new light, so to speak.

Great concept, love the various shapes and colours - black, grey, white. Perhaps a bit sharper and tighter for me.

i like the line on this - the placement of the shadow off horizontal is a really nice touch.

sleeping animals in sunlight - love it. A great way to capture their unguarded moment.

Beautiful capture...I love to see my own cat napping in the sun, very often it make me jealous because it would just look odd if ai did the same - LOL

this is just about an arty image with the grain and the just about oof look combined with the high contrasts ...
i love the slant of that ray of sun with your cat lying on it .. it looks a bit like a very bright mat!! ... he looks so comfy lying there all unconcerned with the problems of life ... oh, to be a cat!!! ... i love the way his nose is sort'v scrunched down on the floor ..
EXCELLENT ALICIA ....
edit a second later ... rule of thirds .. way to go!!!

Awwww. . .I actually like the high contrasty look for this. I think it works.

There's something that feels so serene about a cat curled up contentedly asleep. I love how they will always find a single spot to curl up on too. She sure found her place in the sun, didn't she! I love it!

Really cute. It's almost as though this kitty is in the "spotlight"! *smile*

That's really cute with the cat in the sunlight. I bet this would look really cool if the patch of sunlight were at an angle and not so straight on. I always think diagonal lines strengthen a composition.

i like the composition with the cat right at the edge of the light. nice one.

Nice placement of the cat at the edge of the light. It seems a bit on the soft side.

I really like the rectangle of light and the nose just peeping into it. Also amazing is how the sunshine really turns the hair so soft and pretty feeling. Works well.

Nice, simple abstract; balanced composition, I like it.

I agree the focus is maybe a bit off, but oh well. If highlights are blown I can't see it this size.

focus seems a bit out which is a pity really cos it would of been a cracking shot
