This shot was done few years ago.
some people like it. others suggest that kat is waste.
What do you think about this shot?

Thank you for your comments

I gues I'm one that doesn't think the cat adds to anything. Also, the image could use some straightening. And I would find some tutorials and do a stronger black and white convertion.

I like the cat! lol

Not sure what is going on with the horizon. The structure looks perfectly vertical, but the landscape is falling off to the left pretty fast. Why? I would also get some true blacks and whites in the picture. Right now it all looks like subtle tones of gray. Needs a little punch.

here is a good place to start with the BnW PP. I Especially like the last link (The Black & White Guide to Monochrome Conversions).

and

I second lightwriters comment on the cat not adding anything to the photo.

That's a cool scene overall. Nice building/ church.
I really the composition on this including the low perspective and the path as a leading line, although that landscape tilting away, yet the building being straight, definitely does throw me off a bit.
I'm another one that can't really see a need for the cat in this one.
It is a bit weak in tones so some more contrast would help.

Hope that helps

Assuming the building on the right is the subject you want to draw the viewer's eye, then I find the cat and the statue distracting. Might want to watch your rule of thirds also.

Thank you all for your interest to this shot and for your help.
You are absolutly right - its need a stronger black and white. I'll try to realize this advise.
And I agree with Michael_2010 that the landscape is falling off to the left pretty fast. It was a hill. Thats why there is effect of falling off to the left. But I know this fail might be fixed. So I have a chance to do this shot better.
about cat. As I said this shot was done few years ago. In that time I didn't read special literature abour photography. But I had strong wish to add cat to shot. Than I red about one of the classic geometric rule - the rule of the triangle. So I found that cat with other two objects form a triangle.
