Affection

Katherine, you maybe should see my Pug Dandy picture if you are an animal lower!

In my opinion, the Black cat's details are completely lost in your image. Some of that detail may be captured by lightening the cat's coat. Use the magic wand in PS to isolate the black cat and then use brightness and contrast controls to bring out some of the detail that is there but not shown in your image. Nothing else needs to be changed.

I like the detail in the snow around their feet, and the fact that one cat has black stripes to match the black in the other cat. This is a very poignant image showing the meeting of two old friends, each inquiring of the other about where they have been (or what they have been eating). It is a good catch and one to be proud of. Cats are not always easy to photograph.
