Default Soft Shot
A capture of one of my cats, using one of the soft tutorials from DPS.

Great work. It might need to be a tad bit brighter.

Really pretty. Perhaps a little lighter/brighter, but not too much. I like the mood, nice and dreamy.

Definatly a great shot, Very beautiful, I love the soft filter! One thing I would say would be to increase the saturation of the colours to make them pop out a bit more but other than that nothing I can think of to improve it! The crop is just marvelous. Great job 9/10

Interesting effect! The cat looks so soft and huggable.

Mate, i love the little reflection in the cats eye. Its the bit that 'makes' the photo. Takes it from an average, and into an excellent photo.

How would it look if you sharpened the eyes?
