I found this picture that i took, quite a while ago and posted it on deviant art. It got many views, favs and comments, and i don't know why.It's not a great photo, so i was wondering what you all thought.
The focus is soft, the light sucks as well and the cropping, but what is intriguing about it? Why has it gotten so many favorites on it? It was show in auto mode i suspect, and can't find any details.

Oh, I love this photo. I like the shade of light to dark. I think one of my favourite bits is the paw prints already in the snow. I think you could better it playing with the light tone curve though.

My analysis of why this photo is proving popular:
As people have mentioned, it is the paw prints more than anything else. It is also probably the direction of the paw prints which seem to be pointing away from you. The cat is looking back at you as though saying " There are good times to be had outside. Are you coming or what?" and that is one of the appealing features. The light quality of going from dark to bright diagonally across the frame is also a factor here. I would have preferred the entire body to be in the frame, but it looks good as it is. Maybe I am reading too much into a simple image, but that is exactly what it says to me.
