Tiger

Just want to know what I could do to improve on this idea. Thanks

for looking!

Maybe look for a better background so the cat sticks out more. It's all about colors.

....but too big for my screen in medim size ; ((

I like the fish eye effect for this particular shot. If color is a problem switch it to b/w. Personally, I like it for what it is.

great!

The fisheye makes this a cartoon cat, and the flat red floor contributes to that view.

This is a fun and funny picture. It is growing on me. One suggestion which is a quite knit-picky, but if the cat was looking down just a touch so we got more eyes (and a bit less nose)... but who can coach a cat into the exactly correct pose? Nice shot.

 

Whats a wide angle lens smell like?

I don't see any artistic merit here. It's just a gimmicky use of a fish-eye lens.

Okay, but it's still funny. It makes the cat look like a dog. Interesting concept, why not?

Jonah - You've got some pretty "gimmicky" stuff in your portfolio, too. (ie., toning, zooming, infrared in the cemetary.)(But also some black & white images with good composition and range of tonality, too!)

From your comments about other's images, you're too judgmental with your definition of "art".

(Ah, youth...)

Tiger is a fun shot, which I think could be improved with a simpler, all red background.

I really like this - I agree that a simpler background would help, but fisheye lenses are so wide you can't always chose. You should visit the Fisheye User Group - and maybe submit this photo.
