Kaia, cat and candle

Kaia's first Christmas.

Charlie,

 

I like the warmth of this image. I feel it would be stronger if the table was level and didn't angle down to the lower right. Very nice otherwise.

interesting set up. the heavy detail in the back takes me away from the front elements. jh

Thanks Greg. I never noticed the tilt until you pointed it out. I can probably fix it in photoshop.

There is no "set-up' here. I found the scene and tried about 10 shots. This was the one that had the best composition and expression. I guess I thought that since the foreground highlights are almost blown out by the strong window light that the background would be dark enough not to be distracting. I was also counting on the candle flame to draw your eye to the three subject elements. Does that make sense?
