Hello!

I'm still learning and would welcome any feedback regarding this image...

composition, exposure, what have you. Just some background... this is a

scan of a 35mm negative taken with a Pentax K1000. I have cropped the

image, have not otherwise manipulated the image.

Have a wonderful day!

Hi Jennifer,

Pictures of cats on the net are prolific to say the least. So, even as someone who likes cats, it is hard to come across an image that is photographically strong. I find this image one of them. The B&W works very well in my opinion and the tones are nice. But the strongest factor and the one I like most is the framing.  You also have the eye sharp, which is important, and the whiskers which adds to it.

The only thing I would otherwise comment on could be adjusted in post-processing. Just on the edge of frame next to her left eye (our right) there seems to be a vertical band that is lighter. It is not terrible important but at least for me it is a bit distracting.

Well done and keep learning!

Laurence
