A great idea and a hansome kitten too. I think the cat needs a little more light on its face though and more distinct catch lights in the eyes. The fade to white vignette works well here though.

Mark - Thanks for critiquing my stuff!

Hi Daniele, this is a very nice idea, but I think you can do this picture better. You focus only cat's face and can use a lower value of aperture to have a more faded background and remove all the disturbing elements. Best regards, Enrico

You're absolutely in right. There were some distracting elements in the background (you can see a part of a column I can't clear well), and it's not possible to repeat that unexpected pose. Grazie di nuovo per l'utile critica.

Daniele, se vuoi provare so che photoshop permette di ricreare l'effetto sfuocato di una grande apertura, si tratta di applicare dei filtri che sfumano lo sfondo, magari puoi fare un tentativo. Ciao, Enrico

E' evidente che sono all'inizio, e PhotoShop lo sto appena cominciando ad usare, comunque grazie del consiglio, ci proverò senz'altro.

I like the cat, but he (or she) looks a bit sad:). The sharpness and the theme - I liked it, but in my opinion the picture is too bright, the main reasons for it are maybe the white corners, and the cat has also white patches, and the background is also bright. Thanks for sharing. Gakos

I can assure you it was very happy at that time, and those were its original colours. I've just wrote in anothe replay that I've had distracting elements in the background to remove, and I've tried this way. Anyway, thanks a lot for your helpful critique.

Lovely cat! i like the contrast of this shot. I think you must clean the hot spots in eyes.

Hello Daniele - very cute capture of this kitty, good focus sharpness and lighting on the cat - the white corners for me are a bit distracting, nice shot and thanks for sharing - June.

You're in right. I don't like a lot to pass a photo in PhotoShop, but I've tried to clean some disturbing elements in the background, and this result was better (for me) than the original. Thanks for your critique.
