Kitty is sleepy

It took me about 30 minutes of waiting for the cat to get in this position and actually look at the camera. I love the pose.

Kitty also looks angry you're disturbing his/her sleep

I like that you're down at ground level for the shot. The white lawn furniture in the back is kind of distracting though because it's sooo bright, especially in comparison to the cat. I played around with the picture a little bit, and while I really suck at trying to clone things out, with a little more work and skill, you could probably clone out the furniture in the back. So, what I did was play with the shadows and highlights, I lightened the shadows to get more detail in the cat, then darkened the highlights slightly, which didn't do anything to the furniture. So, I cloned out the furniture and added some grass. Like I said before, my cloning attempt really sucks (especially since I just realised that I missed a bit of the furniture), but here it is

blzrd,

A good point made, to consider foreground (good) and background (not as good) before shooting. Planning can lower your edit time. (Nicole does pretty good, hunh?)
