I think first shot has the best composition here.. The rest seem a little underexposed and the vignetting effect does not work that well IMO.

Point noted! Actually first shot is overexposed, the rest is more of what she looks like. The vignetting is just some personal preference

Thanks for your comments!

#1 gets my vote too.. except for a bit of her ear cut by your border...

i agree with raptor... the rest of the photos are underexpose... simple tweak adjustment on Levels should do the trick...

gorgeous cat you got there....

Thank you for your comments.
haha ok i guess when 2 ppl say it's underexpose, means i have to do something to my monitor maybe i set it too bright

All points noted.

She's lovely

I like those mischievious eyes

Mika your cat?
Lovely cat with great attitude! love it!

[Snowywolf]

quite a good series there..
my pick would go to the first as well. the cat's got a 'human' touch to it.

as for the last pic, the composition would be better if you can get down to be at level with the cat. and probably a tighter composition would be better. decrease the dof as the background can be a little distracting.

cheers!
it's a beautiful cat!!

[darakusan]

g-khoo,
Glad that you like her!

Mulan,
No, she is the property of my gf's and you are extremely correct that she is a cat with an attitude.

Snowywolf,
For the last shot i had actually off my camera already, so it's just a quick shot when i saw her on the stool

Thanks alot for your comments and suggestion!

What breed is that ? Looks like a cross between a Siamese and some furry breed like the Chesire ?

I had a Siamese a very, very long time ago. Bumped into one in the neighbourhood not too long ago. Those cats have an atitude! Not in a bad way really if you know how to temper them.

Very confident cats, very, very calm and a little aloof. But extremely easy to take care of them if you know how to play to their temperament.

BTW... gorgeous cat!

She is a ragdoll =) which have Siamese cat features perhaps that explains the dark face And yes she sure have attitude and temper. She don't really pose for the camera.

And thanks for your comments!

ur third pic i think u focus on the wrong area...it would be best to focus on the eyes of the catr for such a close shot

hehe yupz, still got quite a few closeup shots attempting to capture the "shine in the eye" shot... but i failed since it's an indoor shot and i am using a macro lens with F2.8 pretty hard for a noob like me to focus on the eyes XD I would luv to have a shot of the eyes with a nice light captured in it.

Will try again when i got the chance, and thanks for your comments
