Striking Stare

[lewisjharvey]

Hi all,

My first time so be gentle. Yes this is just my cat but I love the photo but wondered if it was just because it's my cat.

Exposure 0.003 sec (1/400)

Focal Length 300 mm

Flash Off, Did not fire

So Flickr standard link didn't work:

Don't look now but the critique police are coming!

The general gist for a critique post is to
a.) Display a photo - check
b.) Display EXIF data - check
c.) Ask a specific critique related question - is my focus OK, are the colors blown out, overexposed, underexposed, composition, etc. - Bzzzzzzzzzzzz

I'm a sucker for cats and this is no exception. It's definitely a cat. But - probably better suited to share your shots section.

Unless you reply with a specific critique question.

So, just a friendly heads-up. I like the photo. That's a fairly unique eye color for a brown tiger.

Looking forward to more of your work.

Be well.

Ok understood...subtly put.

1. Is the focal point correct? Is the eye the correct point?
2. Is there any post processing I could do to improve it, i.e. colours etc?
3. Does this picture emphasize the stare in the way I hoped or is there anything I could do next time to emphasize it more?

Thanks.
