the 'nines and 'lines (canine & feline) Catching the last rays of the day...

I wanted to get opinions as to how this was cropped. Looking at it, I

feel as though it may be a bit close, but unfortunately this is the un-

cropped original. All comments welcome!

Andrew-

I don't think the photo is necessarily too cropped. The balance would be better if the cat's head, which is the focal point, weren't so close to the edge. What I notice as "problems" are the very over-exposed highlight on the cat's back (sunlight from a window?) and the very underexposed half of the cat's face. Rather than crop horizontally, I would try to crop vertically and eliminate much of that white spot. I would also try to lighten the underexposed area of the face.
