Talking Grandma and her cat...

I really like this shot so I wanted to get feedback from others to see if I'm missing anything.

Woman and Cat Gazing

ISO: 800
Exposure: 1/160
Aperture: f/4? I think, it was on my OM 50mm lens so it doesn't get recorded. It may have been 2.8

I did a little bit of touchup in gimp. Added the vignette and there were a couple of bright spots that captured focus so I cloned them out. Other than that it was all in camera. Let me know your thoughts.

I think it's a nice silhouette as you can definitely tell it's Grandma with one of her cats. The soft muted colors in the background work well for this shot. I'd like to see this shot without the vignette or with a lighter vignette.

^^^ I agree about using a much lighter vignette. I've never been a big fan of the "looking through the peephole" vignettes. Nice shot though.

Sorry, I've been down with a bug. Once I get caught up I will try to put a lighter vignette on it. I personally don't like this shot without any vignette but I see your point about the "looking through the peep hole" look.
