First 3 from East Coast Park. Great subject, but newbie photog. C&C would help me a lot. Thanks...







Taken with Canon 450D 18-55mm kit lens, no filter.

For the first 2 shots Your POV is slighty above the cat and with the cat looking away form the camera its not as flattering. Try getting down lower for a differenent perspective. Kinda like the third one but I feel that you should have included the ears.

Thanks raptor! Will take note of that... yeah, I realize its important to have that eye level and eye contact now.

also, with regards to focal point, #2 was a little soft. As with macro photography, you can try to get the focus on the eyes, unless of course if it's intentional to get it on something else.

was flash used for the pictures?

Thanks yellowlemonie & NeTHaCk. Yes, flash was used in all 3 photos.

Will try not to chop off important face parts (eg. ears) next time...
